Have you ever encountered a Queen Bee in your workplace? This usually occurs in male-dominated or super competitive environments where the Queen Bee (a woman in a position of power) may adopt competitive behaviours to preserve her unique status, often at the expense of other women. This can create a hostile environment for new female leaders. It's time to break down barriers and support each other's success rather than tearing each other down. #women #leadership #womeninbusiness #queenbee

Two things stood out for me in these interview shorts. First, performance currency can get you into the room but may not get you where you need to be. I recall one particular year as a manager when my boss told me that he had not personally recommended a performance bonus for me; other executives had, and they believed I had done a great job. Now, I wonder how any of you female leaders would have reacted. The second point that stood out is that if no one recognises your efforts, you need to change where you are, not who you are. Do not try to please people who do not recognise your talents. As a hard-working female leader, find the right sponsor or new employer and move forward.

Men can be more caveman than they realize, thinking in terms of tribe and dominance, and resorting to grunting and intimidation. They might talk about servant leadership and fairness, but under pressure they fall back on alpha male leadership and powerplay. And they might say they see women as equals, but in practice they have difficulty with women peers, let alone a woman as boss. Gentlemen, are you aware of your inner caveman? And are you in control of these instincts? https://lnkd.in/e7H4RkbX #strategicleadership #leadershipdevelopment #leadershipskills #organizationalleadership #servantleadership
