She would be a great leader – if only she didn’t have to deal with people!
Jen was tired of being exhausted.
Jen’s team constantly dropped the ball in their work causing her to spend too many extra hours fixing their work to her standards.
She was just about ready to find a new position at a company with a better culture of workers who were responsible.
Jen came to this position with high hopes almost two years ago.
WOW! What a mistake!
This company was no better than her other management position!
Maybe the problem was the people in the area?
Maybe her next job should be in a different part of the country? A place where staff actually DID their assigned work and on time!
What Jen didn’t think about… the exciting new job across the country would have the same challenge – her as a team leader!
When a woman reaches out to me for leadership help, one of the first things I check is if she was raised as a Good Girl.
Being trained to be a selfless servant responsible for everyone else’s feelings makes being an effective leader a painful struggle.
It can suck a woman dry.
On the flip side, breaking free from the rules is like going from black and white to a full-color spectrum experience – where life is more delicious – and so is being a leader at work!
If you are a successful woman secretly struggling at work as a leader, contact me.
We can explore if breaking free from Good Girl Rules is the solution you need.
Don’t be like Jen – uprooting your life to recreate the same leadership challenges in a new city, miserably alone.
