Seven Traps For Women Leaders
Seven Traps For Women Leaders
Women have so much to offer, so much pure potential and talent. Yet many of our skills remain untapped. What is in the way? To a certain degree, we are. Even those of us who are described as powerhouses of strength, imagination, and creativity, often limit ourselves unwittingly. We do this when we fall into any of seven leadership traps:
- Being one of the boys.
- Playing the martyr
- Having no voice and no choice
- Waiting for rescue
- Peace at any price
- Hurry, Hurry, Hurry
- Surviving at all costs
Each of these traps is a pitfall, an avoidable obstacle that—if we remain conscious of it and plan accordingly—need not hinder our effectiveness and personal power. Our conscious attention, however, is paramount.
