Stop telling women they must change themselves to become leaders Globe_Careers
Global president and CEO of Cossette, an integrated brand experience agency
The answer has been, on many occasions, to demand that women aspire to a stereotyped idea of leadership: ambitious, confident, assertive, risk-taking, calculating and fervently committed. If these qualities don’t come naturally, then read a book, take a course, get a mentor, a sponsor, a model, a boot camp. Train.
For our collective thinking to change, we need to share the responsibility. I think that in some ways, a blueprint for leadership has been welcome. But the way forward is our own. Do your best. Listen to your instincts. You went to school and learned. You’ve seen your parents and other inspiring people work in the world and you can model what feels right. Go to events, be yourself, pay attention, jump at any opportunity to learn.It’s important to say: This is not prescriptive for women.
