We operate in an increasingly complex world.
Today's leaders must rise to the challenges of economic uncertainty, unprecedented technological change, and deepening social divisions.
All while building and motivating diverse, empathetic, and collaborative teams.
In addition to these challenges that all leaders face, WOMEN MUST ALSO OVERCOME INCESSANT SELF-DOUBT inflicted upon them by social conditioning.
This can look like:
-
Dogged imposter syndrome
-
Microaggressions and gaslighting designed to make women question themselves
-
Biased bosses who underestimate women's ability to lead
-
Watching women role models succumb to burnout or be pushed off the glass cliff and wondering if you're next
The good news is that WOMEN HAVE WHAT IT TAKES TO LEAD in challenging times!
The American Psychological Association states that, "When more women are empowered to lead, everyone benefits. Decades of studies show women leaders help increase productivity, enhance collaboration, inspire organizational dedication, and improve fairness."
It all begs the question...
CAN WOMEN TRUST THEIR ABILITY TO LEAD IN A WORLD WHERE NO ONE HAS ALL THE ANSWERS?
Women attempt to combat the external causes of doubt by DEVELOPING EXPERTISE, PROTECTING THEIR TEAMS, & REMAINING HYPER-VIGILANT, but these tactics come at a cost.
The price is steep:
-
Perfectionistic tendencies
-
Anxiety, exhaustion, and overwhelm
-
Fear of failure that hinders innovation
-
Conflict avoidance
-
Stifling team performance
OUTDATED LEADERSHIP MODELS based on male leadership experiences OFFER LITTLE HELP for women in our modern landscape.
Given the broken rung, most women lack the mentorship, network, and permission to lead effectively while also feeling confident in their role.
This leaves women trying to piece together their own leadership methodologies.
Servant Leadership provides a starting point for women looking to cultivate safe and inclusive environments that protect the wellbeing of their teams. Unfortunately, when overlayed with gendered social conditioning, the Servant Leadership model often leads to self-sacrificing and toxic extremes for women in leadership.
How do women continue to rise to meet today's leadership challenges while CENTERING THEMSELVES AND THEIR WELLBEING?
