Ep 072: The Double Bind Dilemma For Women in Leadership
In this week’s episode, we're going to be talking about the double bind dilemma for women in leadership. The old saying you’re damned if you do, and you're damned if you don’t really sums it up. For women, there's this double bind in leadership that you are either too soft and you are too compassionate and you let people get away with things or rough ride over you, or you are too tough. In which case you are assertive, you are aggressive. You can be a bit of a bitch, but the main point is that you are never just right. You're never exactly the right amount of whatever you need to be.  So, I’m going t be focusing on the three different predicaments at the heart of it of this dilemma and how businesses can help. Here are the highlights: (04:01) Extreme perceptions of women leaders (07:22) How do we get past this challenge? (08:06) High competence threshold  (09:40) How can leaders step past the competency threshold (11:35) Competent but disliked (13:31) Strategies to overcome these challenges   Listen and subscribe to the podcast now, and find out more about me at www.nicolaskorko.com Follow me on Linked In here: https://www.linkedin.com/in/nicola-buckley-strongher/ Download the Overwhelm to On Fire Checklist here: https://nicolaskorko.com/overwhelm-to-on-fire-checklist/ Contact my through Speakpipe here: https://www.speakpipe.com/femaleleadersonfirepodcast  For more details on how to work with me Go too www.nicolaskorko.com Or email nicola@nicolaskorko.com   Produced by the Podcast Boutique
