À PROPOS DE CET ÉPISODE
In this conversation, we dive into leadership superpowers - how to refine your strengths by understanding their shadow sides to elevate your impact! Too often women are told to tone down their strengths instead of overcoming the shadow side. This often leads to women becoming less effective. It's not intentional, it's simply a result of the fact that for senior femal leaders, 70% of their own leaders are male. This means that the feedback comes from a biased lens.
In this podcast learn how to understand your strengths, identify their shadow sides and unlock your superpowers.
Takeaways- Women and men start in corporate roles at nearly equal rates and by senior leadership, women make up only 28% of senior vice presidents.
- Leadership norms are shaped by traditionally masculine traits and women often receive vague and unhelpful feedback.
- Strengths can have shadow sides that undermine effectiveness.
- Refining strengths without diminishing them can turn them into leadership superpowers.
- Transform strengths into superpowers through actionable strategies.
