Session: Unleash The power of feminine leadership
There is a difference between how men are supposed to act and how women are expected to behave. Whether it is correct or not, our society labels certain qualities as masculine and others as feminine.I learned in my early career that if I wanted to get ahead in life, masculine qualities were my ticket to success. Work hard, be smart, and gain a powerful position.
Emulating those around me Working in a male-dominated industry, I followed the process that was laid out for me and did what my male counterparts did. I laughed at sexist jokes, drank scotch, smoked cigars, and became one of the guys.
Many traits that are labelled "feminine" in the workplace are viewed as weaknesses, but they ultimately provide a lot of wisdom and perspective that leads to greater profits. We must show up with both our "feminine" and "masculine" characteristics, with our wholeness, in order to truly feel fulfilled in our work and to find even greater financial success.
Characteristics that our society labels "feminine" continue to be discouraged in the workplace and are undervalued in leadership positions. The real ticket to success is using both masculine and feminine traits. When we show up with all of ourselves, we create powerful and profitable workplaces while being the change we want to see in the world. When we are so focused on logic, process, aggression, and pushing through at whatever cost, it is limiting our potential.
One day Tara decided she would no longer abandon her feminine traits, play small, and hide who she was to fit in. She had to take responsibility for what she was showing. The most important thing that she showed with all of herself was that her team and clients could feel safe to express their genuine fears and concerns, and together they would weather the storms and create success, knowing that they had built solid relationships based on vulnerability, trust, and mutual respect.
The world needs leaders who can show up with all their gifts and give others permission to express their authenticity, whether they are men or women.
