Lead
Look out. That chipped and spattered glass ceiling is about to fall. With our affinity for consensus-seeking and relationship-building, women are putting a refreshingly feminine face on leadership. Be ready to take the lead in your organization or profession by staying abreast of leadership trends and brushing up on skills vital to hiring, delegating, training, diversity, gender equity, business ethics, and more. There’s nothing more powerful than inspirational leadership.

A manager gains respect through honest, clear, direct self-expression—the assertive approach to communication. Managing assertively can help you:
- Increase your effectiveness at handling conflict and criticism.
- Encourage positive dialogue so that difficult issues can be resolved successfully.
- Have a consistently positive influence on others.
- Increase your potential for career advancement.
Take a look at the skill foundation supporting your management style. If any of the following building blocks are weak, wobbly or entirely missing, it may be time for a little skill renovation.

Here are seven strategies that I've tested, modified and used throughout my career. For me, they're passing the test of time. I hope they are useful to you.
Strategy #1: This Too Shall Pass
It’s important to remember that everything runs in cycles. The current down cycle will be followed by an up cycle. You need to accept the environment that you’re in and work with it.

(With references to “Closing the Gender Gap” written by Bonita Banducci, Julie O’Mara, and Jeffrey Wildfogel for the Royal Bank of Canada)
A new Platinum Rule is:
Do unto others as they would like done unto them.
People are different. We need to understand those differences and act in a way that maximizes the value of the differences. When we “do unto others as we would have them do unto us,” we are saying everyone should be treated in the same way we want to be treated. This assumes and values only similarities. Since there are differences between the genders and differences among individuals, treating people as they want to be treated respects differences as well as similarities.

Catalyst released Women in Corporate Leadership: Progress and Prospects, a groundbreaking study defining the barriers and success factors for women in corporate America in 1996. Seven years later, the New York-based research and advisory organization conducted a follow-up study, Women in U.S. Corporate Leadership: 2003, to gauge whether or not change has occurred and provide insight about the experiences and opportunities for today’s women executives. Study findings show that there have been few dramatic changes in women’s attitudes and experiences since 1996. Those that have occurred bode well for the future, but much remains unchanged. While the report reveals some progress, it also highlights the work still yet to be done in creating inclusive and supportive work environments where women can succeed.
