We learned when to speak up and when to hold back. We learned how to be assertive\u2014but not <em>too<\/em> assertive. Confident\u2014but not intimidating. Ambitious\u2014but still likable. Strong\u2014but never difficult.<\/p>\n<p>That\u2019s an exhausting list of contradictions.<\/p>\n<p>Perhaps it\u2019s time we stopped asking women to fit themselves into someone else\u2019s definition of leadership.<\/p>\n<p>Perhaps the better question is:<\/p>\n<p><strong>Who are you when you lead like yourself?<\/strong><\/p>\n<h2>Leadership Doesn\u2019t Have a Gender<\/h2>\n<p>There are qualities we frequently associate with women in leadership: empathy, collaboration, communication, intuition, relationship-building, and the ability to create consensus.<\/p>\n<p>These are valuable qualities. But they don\u2019t belong exclusively to women any more than decisiveness, ambition, courage, strategic thinking, or authority belong exclusively to men.<\/p>\n<p>They belong to good leaders.<\/p>\n<p>And that distinction matters.<\/p>\n<p>For years, we\u2019ve talked about helping women become stronger leaders. Maybe we should also be talking about expanding our definition of what strong leadership looks like.<\/p>\n<p>A leader doesn\u2019t have to be the loudest person in the room.<\/p>\n<p>She doesn\u2019t have to have every answer.<\/p>\n<p>She doesn\u2019t have to dominate a conversation to influence its outcome.<\/p>\n<p>And she certainly doesn\u2019t have to become someone else to earn the right to lead.<\/p>\n<h2>Stop Performing Leadership<\/h2>\n<p>I have been in leadership roles for most of my adult life\u2014as a business owner, publisher, association founder, community leader, mentor, and volunteer.<\/p>\n<p>And one thing I have learned is that leadership is very different from <em>looking like a leader<\/em>.<\/p>\n<p>Titles can be given.<\/p>\n<p>Authority can be assigned.<\/p>\n<p>Leadership has to be earned.<\/p>\n<p>People follow leaders they trust. They follow people who communicate clearly, keep their word, make difficult decisions when necessary, and care about what happens to the people around them.<\/p>\n<p>Sometimes leadership means taking charge.<\/p>\n<p>Sometimes it means stepping aside and letting someone else shine.<\/p>\n<p>Sometimes it means saying, \u201cI don\u2019t know.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>And sometimes it means being the only person in the room willing to say, \u201cI don\u2019t agree.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Authenticity isn\u2019t about always being comfortable or doing whatever feels natural. It is about making sure the person making those decisions is actually <strong>you<\/strong>.<\/p>\n<h2>Stop Apologizing for the Skills That Make You Effective<\/h2>\n<p>There are leadership qualities that were once dismissed as \u201csoft skills.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Listening.<\/p>\n<p>Empathy.<\/p>\n<p>Relationship-building.<\/p>\n<p>Communication.<\/p>\n<p>Collaboration.<\/p>\n<p>Reading the room.<\/p>\n<p>Helping people feel seen and heard.<\/p>\n<p>There is nothing soft about any of them.<\/p>\n<p>Try leading a team through uncertainty without communication.<\/p>\n<p>Try resolving conflict without listening.<\/p>\n<p>Try retaining talented people without empathy.<\/p>\n<p>Try building a loyal customer base without relationships.<\/p>\n<p>Try creating a successful organization without understanding people.<\/p>\n<p>Those skills aren\u2019t accessories to leadership. In many situations, they <em>are<\/em> leadership.<\/p>\n<p>If they happen to be among your strengths, don\u2019t minimize them because they don\u2019t resemble an outdated image of what power is supposed to look like.<\/p>\n<p>Use them.<\/p>\n<h2>Authenticity Isn\u2019t an Excuse<\/h2>\n<p>There is another side to authentic leadership that we don\u2019t talk about nearly enough.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThat\u2019s just who I am\u201d isn\u2019t a leadership strategy.<\/p>\n<p>Authenticity doesn\u2019t mean refusing to grow, change, listen, or develop skills that don\u2019t come naturally.<\/p>\n<p>A naturally collaborative leader may still need to make an unpopular decision.<\/p>\n<p>An empathetic leader still needs boundaries.<\/p>\n<p>A quiet leader sometimes has to raise her voice.<\/p>\n<p>A confident leader still needs to admit when she is wrong.<\/p>\n<p>And a leader who values harmony sometimes has to initiate the difficult conversation everyone else is avoiding.<\/p>\n<p>Authentic leadership isn\u2019t about staying safely within your comfort zone.<\/p>\n<p>It is about stretching without losing yourself in the process.<\/p>\n<h2>There Is More Than One Way to Lead<\/h2>\n<p>This may be the greatest opportunity we have as women in leadership today.<\/p>\n<p>We don\u2019t have to replace one narrow model of leadership with another.<\/p>\n<p>The goal isn\u2019t to declare that women lead better than men.<\/p>\n<p>It isn\u2019t to suggest that all women lead alike.<\/p>\n<p>We don\u2019t.<\/p>\n<p>Some women are collaborative. Some are commanding.<\/p>\n<p>Some lead quietly. Others walk into a room and immediately fill it.<\/p>\n<p>Some are analytical. Some are intuitive. Most of us are a combination that changes depending on the situation.<\/p>\n<p>That\u2019s exactly the point.<\/p>\n<p>There should be room for all of it.<\/p>\n<p>Organizations become stronger when different perspectives, personalities, experiences, and leadership styles have an opportunity to influence decisions.<\/p>\n<p>And women become stronger leaders when we stop measuring ourselves against an imaginary standard of how a leader is <em>supposed<\/em> to behave.<\/p>\n<h2>What Do You Bring to the Table?<\/h2>\n<p>Maybe that is a question worth asking ourselves more often.<\/p>\n<p>Not:<\/p>\n<p><em>What am I missing?<\/em><\/p>\n<p>Not:<\/p>\n<p><em>How do I become more like her?<\/em><\/p>\n<p>Not:<\/p>\n<p><em>What do I need to change so they\u2019ll take me seriously?<\/em><\/p>\n<p>But:<\/p>\n<p><strong>What do I bring to the table that wouldn\u2019t be there if I weren\u2019t sitting at it?<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Your experience matters.<\/p>\n<p>Your perspective matters.<\/p>\n<p>Your ability to see something others don\u2019t see matters.<\/p>\n<p>Your questions matter.<\/p>\n<p>Your voice matters.<\/p>\n<p>And yes, your way of leading matters.<\/p>\n<p>The challenge is to understand those strengths well enough to use them intentionally\u2014and to recognize the areas where you still need to grow.<\/p>\n<p>Because confidence without self-awareness isn\u2019t leadership.<\/p>\n<p>But neither is constantly questioning whether you belong.<\/p>\n<h2>Lead Like Yourself<\/h2>\n<p>Women have spent decades earning seats at tables where decisions are made.<\/p>\n<p>Now we have another responsibility.<\/p>\n<p>We need to make those tables bigger.<\/p>\n<p>We need to encourage the woman who hasn\u2019t yet discovered the power of her own voice.<\/p>\n<p>We need to mentor without creating clones of ourselves.<\/p>\n<p>We need to open doors\u2014and leave them open behind us.<\/p>\n<p>And perhaps most importantly, we need to show the women coming after us that there isn\u2019t one correct way to be powerful.<\/p>\n<p>You can be compassionate and decisive.<\/p>\n<p>Warm and authoritative.<\/p>\n<p>Collaborative and ambitious.<\/p>\n<p>Quiet and influential.<\/p>\n<p>You can listen deeply and still have the final word.<\/p>\n<p>You can lead with your head and your heart.<\/p>\n<p>You don\u2019t have to become a better female version of someone else\u2019s idea of a leader.<\/p>\n<p><strong>You have to become more fully the leader you already have the capacity to be.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>And when you do?<\/p>\n<p>Don\u2019t just take your place at the table.<\/p>\n<p>Make room for another woman to pull up a chair.<\/p>\n<p><em>Heidi Richards Mooney<\/em><br \/><em>Publisher, WE Magazine for Women<\/em><\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>For generations, women entering positions of leadership were often given an unspoken message: If you want to succeed, learn how to lead like the people who succeeded before you.
