Session: Powering Up and Powering Down: How to think about Leadership Levers for women

While there are many TedTalks and books advising women to "Power Up" or to "Lean In," but did you know that it is also important to "Power Down"? In my talk, "Powering Up and Powering Down: Dial Up and/or Dial Down with These Four Leadership Levers" I will cover the 4 leadership paradoxes/levers that allow female leaders to effectively Power Up as well as Power Down:

Lever 1: Authoritative yet participative
Lever 2: Advocating for themselves yet serving others
Lever 3: Demanding yet caring 
Lever 4: Maintaining distance yet being approachable


Premium Members, Ticket Holders, Speakers and recognized Global Ambassadors can watch this content once logged in.


Key Takeaways

  • You can "Power Up" successfully by negotiating not just for yourself, but for your team, your organization and your community.
  • You will need to know the dynamics of the 4 leadership paradoxes/levers in order to Power Up effectively.
  • The double bind gets in the way of female leaders gathering their power: choose to be nice or choose to be powerful and decisive.
  • WHY IS ALL OF THIS IMPORTANT? We need to elevate women everywhere – not just for our own selfish purposes, but to empower all those around us who do not have a voice.
