Breaking the Vicious Cycle of Compensatory Hyper-Achievement
Briefly

High-achieving women often confront a complex labyrinth of expectations and unspoken workplace dynamics that can undermine their leadership journey. As they ascend to leadership roles, they must navigate the delicate balance between meeting societal expectations and being recognized as assertive leaders. Many enter the workforce without the necessary tools or guidance to understand these hidden rules, leading to potential missteps. While striving to adapt can lead to promotion, it can also result in a shifting landscape of expectations, exposing women to criticism when they do not conform to changing performance standards.
Unfortunately, many women enter their careers without being provided the decoder ring, leading to missteps and frustrations.
Adapting is a double-edged sword; meeting others' expectations can lead to recognition, but the rules of success can shift once a woman begins to succeed.
