From 'Good Girl' to Authentic Leader
Briefly

The article discusses the impact of societal conditioning on women's leadership styles, emphasizing that many women are raised to prioritize being agreeable over being authentic. Such conditioning often promotes performance over true presence, resulting in leadership that lacks depth and influence. Authentic leadership requires inner clarity and a focus on one’s own values rather than external approval. As women let go of outdated rules that dictate modesty and compliance, they are empowered to lead authentically, embracing their full selves and demonstrating integrity and emotional strength.
Many women are taught that being agreeable is safer than being authentic, especially in leadership.
Authentic leadership stems from inner clarity, not external validation or approval-seeking behavior.
The 'good girl' conditioning doesn't prepare women to lead-it prepares them to perform.
Letting go of outdated rules empowers women to lead with integrity, boldness, and emotional depth.
