Have you ever left a leadership development training feeling like it barely scratched the surface of what you needed? Or, that too much time was spent on competencies you've never had an issue with? You might have even had your concerns as a leader brushed aside or dismissed with comments such as, delegate that to your team, speak up more in meetings, brag more, or communicate clearly but don't be too direct. All this without any guidance on how to navigate the bias, the double-standards, and the identity issues that emerge when we are asked to change our patterns of thought and behavior. The root of the problem is most leadership development training was not designed for women and fails to take women's specific brain functions, societal conditioning or obstacles into consideration. In this episode we're covering why leadership development for women is so important and why it needs to change. Resources Episode Show Notes: Transcript and links mentioned in this episode.
