“As a woman, how do I avoid being seen as ‘bossy’ or 'difficult' because I speak out about the changes our organisation needs?”
I know many of you will balk at this question; dismissing it as sexist, patriarchal, out of date, or the ‘wrong’ question. I urge you to consider that even though we desperately wish questions like this were a thing of the past they are not. They are a daily reality for many many different kinds of women. I ask you to empathise and listen to women who are filled with this fear every day because they work in a system that is nowhere near ready to explore leading differently.
My answer is this. You can’t avoid it. In this episode I introduce three steps for you to take when faced with this question.
