Women Lead Differently

 












Women and men lead differently.

This article is not about how men lead versus how women lead, but rather about being the best leader you can be regardless of your gender.

If we look at leaders, many women have alienated themselves from their core leadership traits because they do not think they have to comply with how business works today. Nothing could be further from the truth. Women, we need to be ourselves and use our gifts and talents in the workplace. Leadership is generally known to be masculine but feminine leadership has its place as well. 

Females may not even be aware they are alienating themselves. Perhaps they are hoping to attract more business or gain respect from their male counterparts. When you are not being who you were made to be, you typically end up with excessive stress, tears, and broken mindset/psychology.  

I am a champion for encouraging women of all ages to stand in their natural traits, embrace who they are, and allow their natural gifts to prove their efficiency. You do not have to be like anyone else. 

Let your femininity shine. Be insightful, drive from your values, and transform the workplace because of your heart for others, your care, and your energy. Ask amazing questions and provide insightful answers. Women have a natural ability to sense things, accept others, approach situations with grace, remain present in key times, offer input, and have the gift of nourishing others.  

As a society, we always feel the need to improve ourselves. I think we can all agree the world needs more empathy, sensitivity, caring, sweetness and compassion. When you lead in these characteristics, people will feel loved and a part of something bigger.  

There are moments in my own life that feel like “doing” versus being but what I know is when I am being, I am a more attractive feminine leader.  

Who is your favorite female leader? What characteristics do you love about her?

Best,
