Lately, more and more people seem to be waking up to the fact that\nwomen\u2019s style of leading through listening and collaboration brings enormous\nbenefits to just about every kind of group you can imagine. That includes large\nand small businesses, nonprofit organizations, sports teams\u2014you name it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Since many women seem to naturally possess these abilities, we don\u2019t\nnecessarily need to learn a lot of new skills before we take on leadership.\nHowever, we may need to start trusting our own thinking and to gain the\nconfidence to lead in our own way.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

HERE ARE 10 TIPS FOR BEHAVING LIKE A LEADER, EVERY DAY <\/p>\n\n\n\n

  1. BE YOURSELF<\/strong>. In an attempt to \u2018act like a leader,\u2019 do you ever behave in a way that doesn\u2019t fit your values or personality? Notice your unconscious assumptions\u2014do you think leaders should be aggressive or unemotional? Don\u2019t be afraid to be yourself.
    \u00a0<\/li>
  2. BELIEVE IN YOURSELF.<\/strong>\u00a0Become aware of the critical voice in your head that says you\u2019re not smart enough or strong enough to take on leadership.
    \u00a0<\/li>
  3. SAY WHAT YOU THINK<\/strong>. In meetings or when talking to family and friends, say what you really think. Don\u2019t pretend to agree just to keep the peace\u2014in the end, it weakens your relationships. As long as you are respectful, you have a right to express your own opinion.
    \u00a0<\/li>
  4. STAY PRESENT IN THE FACE OF CHALLENGES<\/strong>. A good leader doesn\u2019t avoid problems because it feels uncomfortable. But before tackling tough issues, take the time to become grounded. Notice any negative self-talk. Your actions are much more likely to result in a positive outcome when you are feeling calm and confident.
    \u00a0<\/li>
  5. CELEBRATE THE POSITIVE<\/strong>. If a group or individual is being unnecessarily negative, redirect attention to the positive. Don\u2019t forget to express appreciation and acknowledge effort.
    \u00a0<\/li>
  6. TAKE RISKS<\/strong>. Begin to step outside your comfort zone. Suggest a bold idea at a meeting. Push a project forward. Ask for recognition. Take time for yourself.
    \u00a0<\/li>
  7. DON\u2019T IGNORE PROBLEMS<\/strong>. No group or individual can thrive when key issues aren\u2019t being addressed. Don\u2019t stay silent in the face of dysfunction or pretend everything is fine when it\u2019s not. But before pointing out what everyone else is ignoring, get support and create a plan.
    \u00a0<\/li>
  8. USE YOUR POWER FOR GOOD<\/strong>. The best leaders use their influence to fight for those with less power and to create space for them to take on leadership themselves.
    \u00a0<\/li>
  9. STOP APOLOGIZING<\/strong>. Do you say \u201cI\u2019m sorry\u201d even when you haven\u2019t done anything wrong? You may think you\u2019re just being polite, but others may think you lack confidence. To help break the habit, ask a trusted friend or colleague to give you a small signal every time you apologize.

    <\/li>
  10. OPEN YOUR HEART<\/strong>. When someone is having strong emotions or is feeling vulnerable, don\u2019t be afraid to express compassion\u2014 even in the workplace. We always have the power to be kind.<\/li><\/ol>\n\n\n\n
