If you're like many women in business today, you have most likely watched the double-standards play out around you. Warnings of, "don't be emotional", "tone it down", and "The Mommy Track" are very real things that women have to deal with. As of 2021, women only hold 8.2% of CEO positions in the Fortune 500. And, if you're doing the math, that equates to 41 women. To make matters worse, women of color only hold two of those positions. Yet, across the board women hold more college degrees and Black women in particular hold more degrees than any other demographic.
The good news is that current research shows innate feminine qualities and behaviors are most attractive and desired for those in leadership positions. Employees want more communication, collaboration, empathy, and unity. Which means that who women naturally are is more influential than the aggressive and archaic model that we have been following for years. Women are naturally better at connecting and relating due to their instinctual emotional intelligence, which is why we are seeing the tides shift for women in leadership roles right now.
