2 Things Women Can Do To Be Better Leaders In The Workplace
In this short monologue, the speaker outlines two behavioral adjustments that she believes women should make to become better leaders. First, she argues that women tend to over‑caretake—taking on parts of everyone’s work, constantly checking in, and being overly protective—stemming from a natural caretaker instinct. She advises women to pull back, stop doing tasks for their team, and let employees handle responsibilities on their own, likening it to “kicking a little bird out of the nest.” Second, she claims women are predisposed to judgment and gossip, a trait she ties to evolutionary mate‑selection pressures. She recommends replacing judgment with curiosity: instead of assuming why a colleague is grumpy or underperforming, ask open‑ended questions to understand motivations. The speaker frames both points as essential for fostering employee growth and creating a more effective leadership style.
