Leadership Recognizes Strength
|
Hi Reader, My best teachers, my best professors, and some of my best mentors have been women. The best managers I have had throughout my career have been women. My most outstanding employees have been women. Some of my greatest advocates and supporters of what I create and promote have been women. The vast majority of my clients, referrals, and friends are fierce, independent, strong-willed women. The women I know succeed despite fewer resources, unequal footing, ridicule, and resistance. Given time, competence tends to win. It would be far more productive if insecure people stopped creating unnecessary hurdles and offering irrelevant criticism. Others' strengths do not threaten effective leadership. It recognizes it, works with it, and builds on it. When capable women succeed, the organization succeeds. When fragility blocks them, everyone pays the cost. Effective leaders support and encourage women rather than waste energy trying to tear them down. To do otherwise diminishes everyone. Be a partner and ally, not an adversary. Do what you can to make things better for everyone. Keep advancing in the direction of your dreams and help others along the way. -Karl Karl Bimshas Leadership Strategist | Author KARL BIMSHAS CONSULTING 1-858-583-2302 |
