#28 Fear in Managing Others
Manage episode 357576562 series 2825410
Are you a female leader who struggles with making tough decisions because you don't want to come off as overly aggressive or insensitive? Do you find yourself constantly second-guessing your abilities and decisions due to a lack of confidence? If so, this episode is for you.
We dive into the surprising truth about female leadership and how personality traits like agreeableness and neuroticism can actually hinder your career success. Using the Big Five Personality Dimension as a framework, we explore why being too nice can be problematic for women in management positions.
But it's not all doom and gloom - we also offer practical steps for building confidence and trusting yourself as a leader. The first step is being honest with yourself and noticing the false stories you tell yourself, which often stem from old beliefs. We also suggest doing deeper emotional work to undo these beliefs and build true confidence.
Don't let being too nice hold you back in your career. Tune in to this episode and start taking the reins to become a confident and effective leader. And if you need help doing the deeper emotional work, we encourage you to reach out for support at business@tracycrossley.com.
