It’s about diversity of thought, and making sure everyone in the organization feels secure enough to express themselves without fear of retribution. It means creating a psychologically safe workplace where those on teams feel comfortable enough to take risks, express their ideas and concerns, ask questions, and admit mistakes – all without fear of negative consequences.

I see Change happening at our clients’ organizations and I see the toll it is taking on their employees. And, I have been asking the question: “How do you lead in the face of constant change?” 4 min read | [Kelly Primus](https://www.leadingnow.biz/blog/author/kelly-primus) [Read ON!](https://www.leadingnow.biz/blog/leadership-at-the-pace-of-global-change) [Leadership](https://www.leadingnow.biz/blog/topic/leadership) [Change](https://www.leadingnow.biz/blog/topic/change) [Virtual Programs](https://www.leadingnow.biz/blog/topic/virtual-programs) ## [What You Really Need to Know to Get to the C-suite!](https://www.leadingnow.biz/blog/what-you-really-need-to-know-to-get-to-the-c-suite) In advertising, it's the transition from managing the client to managing the business. In construction, it's the transition from managing the project to managing the business. In professional services firms it's the transition from delivering client services to advancing the business by revenue generation.

For us at Leading Women, our research has found that mentoring women is not only good for the women being mentored, but other women in the pipeline and their company's bottom line. 3 min read | [Susan Colantuono](https://www.leadingnow.biz/blog/author/susan-colantuono) [Read ON!](https://www.leadingnow.biz/blog/namemo-why-mentoring-matters-to-women) [The Missing 33%®](https://www.leadingnow.biz/blog/topic/the-missing-33) [Leadership](https://www.leadingnow.biz/blog/topic/leadership) [Career](https://www.leadingnow.biz/blog/topic/career) [Mentoring](https://www.leadingnow.biz/blog/topic/mentoring) ## [Let’s Stop Talking About “Female” Leadership Traits](https://www.leadingnow.biz/blog/stop-talking-about-female-leadership-traits) Recently, a podcast host asked me if I’d be interested in doing an interview on gender differences in leadership styles. More specifically, the host wanted me to chat about how women are much more inclusive leaders than men. On the surface, this seems like a positive development for women, and something that’s worth crowing about. It’s also got a lot of traction: viewing women as more inclusive leaders seems like something that will finally get them into the C-suite en masse, no? I declined. No matter how positive it might seem on the surface to point out the “innate” characteristics of female leaders, it never leads to the kind of change we want. Read on to learn about the sinister side of gender essentialism, and how defining women leaders differently doesn’t serve them. 4 min read | [Susan Colantuono](https://www.leadingnow.biz/blog/author/susan-colantuono) [Read ON!](https://www.leadingnow.biz/blog/stop-talking-about-female-leadership-traits) [Closing the Gender Gap](https://www.leadingnow.biz/blog/topic/closing-the-gender-gap) [Gender Dynamics](https://www.leadingnow.biz/blog/topic/gender-dynamics) [Leadership](https://www.leadingnow.biz/blog/topic/leadership) ## [9 Things Women in Leadership Must Know](https://www.leadingnow.biz/blog/9-things-women-in-leadership-must-know) There are many things that women haven't been told about leadership from career-start to the corporate boardroom. Here are 9 fundamental things about leadership that women haven't been told and need to know. They are these. Leadership is simple, but it's not easy. It's simple if you have a definition of leadership that is useful and prescriptive. This is the first of 9 things that every woman should know about leadership: 1. "Leadership is using the greatness in you to achieve and sustain extraordinary outcomes by engaging the greatness in others." This definition is one you can use to make plans at the start of each day or evaluate actions at the end of each day. Acts of leadership involve standing on the foundation of personal greatness, focusing on achieving key outcomes and engaging others in achieving those outcomes. 3 min read | [Susan Colantuono](https://www.leadingnow.biz/blog/author/susan-colantuono) [Read ON!](https://www.leadingnow.biz/blog/9-things-women-in-leadership-must-know) [Talent Development](https://www.leadingnow.biz/blog/topic/talent-development) [Closing the Gender Gap](https://www.leadingnow.biz/blog/topic/closing-the-gender-gap) [The Missing 33%®](https://www.leadingnow.biz/blog/topic/the-missing-33) [Leadership](https://www.leadingnow.biz/blog/topic/leadership) [Career](https://www.leadingnow.biz/blog/topic/career) [Breakthrough Leadership](https://www.leadingnow.biz/blog/topic/breakthrough-leadership) ## [No Ceiling, No Walls](https://www.leadingnow.biz/blog/no-ceiling-no-walls) Learn what women haven't been told about leadership from career-start to the corporate boardroom.
