Ladies.
This one is mostly for you – but trust me the men will benefit too. Unfortunately it’s something though that only a woman can say to a woman.
Aggression does not equal strength. Bitchiness does not equal business savvy.
Somewhere along the road many of us found that business can be a man’s world, and a quick route to getting our way is to be an all-out hard-nosed fire-breathing force to be reckoned with.
Somewhere along the road we forgot the unique gifts we bring to the table as women and lost our femininity. But aggressive behavior is just an easy way through a tough environment, stripping us of our strengths and appeal.
Managing fairly but firmly, keeping an eye on what is best for the individuals without ever losing sight of what is best for the company, understanding situations through discernment and bringing creative solutions, charming clients whilst sticking to our guns, juggling the push and pull of finances without ever losing control of the bottom line – these are to name a few areas that we excel in as women. None of these areas – nor any others for that matter – are better managed with the fire-and-brimstone act.
It’s also a sure-fire way to stay single… or to end up that way.
I’m not talking about meekness and submission, but embracing your femininity and using your skills to your advantage. Let your confidence be in knowing you know what you’re talking about, that you’ve been here before, that you CAN run this company.
Not in proving you can shout the loudest.
