Leading from a human point of view

Leading from a human point of view

You no longer lead with power. You lead with presence.

Sometimes, what weighs the most is not the workload, but the feeling of not being seen. Not being heard. Not being valued. I have talked to employees who don’t quit because of lack of benefits, but because of lack of connection. I have observed teams that lose productivity not for lack of resources, but for lack of purpose.

And I have also accompanied leaders, like you or me, who once thought that having a position was enough to inspire. Until they discover that true leadership is not imposed. It is built.

In short, it’s high time to make the mental health of expectant and new mothers an urgent public health priority.

Why the “Crisis of Men” vs. “Women’s Resilience” Debate is Missing the Point

Why the “Crisis of Men” vs. “Women’s Resilience” Debate is Missing the Point

Last week, a conversation left me quietly unsettled. A fellow advocate for women’s empowerment voiced a perspective I’ve heard beforeโ€”one that places the weight of progress squarely on women’s shoulders. “We’ve lost our grit,” she argued. “We’ve internalized society’s limits instead of fighting back.” Her words echoed a subtle but pervasive narrative: If women aren’t thriving, it’s because we aren’t trying hard enough.

At the same time, Michelle Weston’s powerful blog resonated deeply. She named the gaslighting many women feel as the “crisis of men” dominates headlines while female executives still battle for basic recognition. “Inclusion isn’t selective,” she reminds us. Yet the implication lingers: Should women step back so men can catch up?
