Women often get the message that being a successful leader means you must avoid showing any traits that are seen as traditionally female. The standard advice is that, as a woman, you must project even more strength and confidence than the men in your field. Empathy, vulnerability, and openness are often viewed as weaknesses. But these can actually be your greatest strengths as a leader. You will make mistakes, and so will the people on your team. But mistakes are more than opportunities for personal growth – they’re opportunities for business growth. A study by S&P Global found that female executives drive greater value appreciation, improve price momentum, better defend profitability moats and earn excess returns over their male counterparts. Leading like a woman is an advantage. Leading like a woman drives growth.
