Episode description

I wonder how many of us think of or unconsciously visualize gender when we think of leadership. Truly, how many of us are thinking of women when we’re asked about great leaders?

Let’s face it, conventional leadership models and expectations have been and are currently based mostly on men… their attributes, their styles, and their psychology.

I believe the time has come where we value masculine, feminine, and everything in between in our leaders– that we admire autonomy and collaboration, independence and connection, directness and thoughtfulness. 

Here to advocate for the future of leadership is Dr. Stacy Feiner, an accomplished psychologist, business leader, innovator, author, and mom who advises private- and family- owned businesses with a pro-growth, pro-health approach that ensures leaders solve emotionally charged situations, move forward, and increase enterprise value & family connection. Stacy co-authored the recent bestselling book, The Sixth Level: Capitalize on the Power of Women’s Psychology for Sustainable Leadership, which is also being used in universities, businesses, and local governments and is here today to talk to us about what we can learn from women about leadership.

Women have been leading for a long time, in many ways that work. The answer isn’t to replace men with women, but rather to have all genders learn from women, as we have from men. Because leadership is not confined to a single archetype - it's dynamic and multifaceted.
