I've seen how powerful women leaders can get bogged down in the day-to-day, losing sight of their bigger vision. A leader's time is too valuable to spend on details. When you have the right support, you can shift from managing tasks to creating a lasting impact. What could you achieve if you spent more time focused on the future? #WomeninLeadership #ExecutiveVA

As we continue to celebrate Women's Month in South Africa, I'm reminded of the inspiring book "How Remarkable Women Lead: The Breakthrough Model for Work and Life" by Geoffrey Lewis, Joanna Barsh, and Susie Cranston. The 5 key practices and 3 essential shifts outlined in the book have stuck with me, and I wanted to share them for a dose of Monday motivation. 5 Key Practices: 1. Take Center Stage: Embrace leadership, speak up, and take risks. Remarkable women leaders confidently take ownership of their roles and responsibilities, and aren't afraid to stand out. 2. Drive Results: Set goals, prioritise, and deliver outcomes. They focus on achieving tangible results and making a meaningful impact, without losing sight of their values. 3. Mojo: Develop a sense of purpose, passion, and energy. Remarkable women leaders have a clear sense of direction and enthusiasm that inspires others and drives them forward. 4. Teamwork: Build and leverage relationships, collaborations, and networks. They understand the power of collective effort and foster strong connections that help them achieve their goals. 5. Self-Expression: Authenticity, vulnerability, and self-awareness. Remarkable women leaders are true to themselves, willing to show vulnerability, and continuously learn and grow. 3 Essential Shifts: 1. From Solo to Symphony: Move from individual achievement to collaborative leadership. Remarkable women leaders recognise that success is a team effort and involve others in their journey, creating a harmonious and productive symphony. 2. From Either/Or to Both/And: Embrace paradoxes and integrate seemingly opposing strengths. They reconcile contradictions, finding creative solutions that combine different perspectives and approaches. 3. From Ladder to Web: Build a support network and navigate complex relationships. Remarkable women leaders cultivate a diverse network of relationships, understanding that leadership is a web of connections, not a solo climb up the corporate ladder. By adopting these practices and making these shifts, women can develop the skills and mindset necessary to become remarkable leaders, driving positive change in their organisations and communities. #WomensMonth #LeadershipReminders #RemarkableWomen #Empowerment #WomenInLeadership

What are some of the current trends when it comes to women in leadership? In the recent past, Dr. Githinji walked out of a UN panel composed of male presenters discussing women health. You can read more about it here: https://lnkd.in/dRbZeRsD Having women in leadership involved and actively participating within the organization, and on matters of national and international concern is vital. Why? 🌟 The presence of women influences Boards positively. Studies show that women come to board meetings well prepared, knowledgeable, and armed with questions that help shape decisions. This has also improved the quality of discussions. 🌟 Women leaders are more concerned about an engaged work force. Of the top three concerns that CEOs face, maintaining an engaged workforce is a key issue. An engaged workforce not only has improved performance and increased productivity, but also less work stress, lower absenteeism and lower turnover. 🌟 Women at the top leave where there is lack of an inclusive culture. Lack of flexible work place cultures that support both personal and professional lives such as lack of flexible schedules and lack of remote work options. There is still need for networks, mentorship, and leadership development initiatives to nurture and strengthen women in leadership roles. Training and coaching help to build their confidence and skills. The present and future of women in leadership depends on involving more women at all levels of leadership within an organization and ensuring that they are represented when making decisions on how to make things better. #womeninleadership #management #leadership #professionalwomen #careers #africa #leadershipdevelopment
