Unique Leadership abilities of Women Leaders

#EmbraceEquity

Women have unique leadership abilities which stem from a range of natural qualities that bring out the best in their teams.  Organisations must make it a business imperative to invest in cultural and gendered diversity of leadership, allowing for the space to harness equal opportunities for all. 

As a Leadership Coach, I observe certain qualities and characteristics that make women natural leaders.  In my view, these are the very traits that would serve the leaders of tomorrow to drive business results. With the challenges of the increasingly competitive economies where working with diverse teams and geographic locations would be the norm, such people-focused skills would serve them to keep their lead intact.

A study was conducted to examine the effect of women on boards and as team leaders.  The report, titled “When is Female Leadership an Advantage?” was published in  November 2015, in the Journal of Organisational Behaviour.  Corinne Post, an associate professor of management at Lehigh University’s College of Business and Economics who led the study, stated that women leaders bring a number of very special qualities to their teams, from more cooperative learning to more inclusive communication. This resulted in stronger, closer, more connected teams that perform better.

Here are 7 reasons which give female leaders a significant advantage in managing and leading a team:

Women invest in relationships. Women are good at bringing people together. In a group setting, they take the time to know their team members. They are able to motivate others to get along and have the ability to make each person feel important. This is an especially crucial skill to have when trying to encourage teamwork.  

Women excel at managing others.  Women tend to be more nurturing, understanding, respectful, and empathetic. The best leaders today are not dictatorial, but rather, the ones who are encouraging, approachable, and sensitive to the needs of their employees.

Women are passionate and inspirational. When women set about a task, they do it with enthusiasm and excellence and commit themselves to see it through. When employees observe such a positive attitude in their leaders, they are inspired to approach their work in the same way.

Women are generally better communicators. From a young age, they were taught to express themselves more openly and speak their mind. At the same time, they also make great listeners. This equates to leaders who are inclusive of others’ ideas, resulting in more collaborative relationships.

Women naturally excel at multitasking. As an inbuilt ability to handle multiple tasks simultaneously, women get more work done.  They are able to ensure all boxes get checked.

Women are extremely organised. When it comes to planning and coordinating, they invest a lot of creative energy in executing their plans. 

Women use their intuitive abilities.  If there is trouble up ahead, women are likely to see it coming. Knowing that a plan could go awry, they would have alternative strategies and solutions up their sleeve. If something does not go according to the brief, they can be trusted to take a new or different direction that will achieve results. In short, they are resourceful and typically well-prepared for anything, and seldom leave a plan to change.

To conclude, while our past leadership models have predominantly been male, understanding female leadership styles and strengths would help establish a holistic culture that can recognize and enable women leaders to support the business objectives. 

All leaders, men or women would need to find a balance between their male and women sides to enhance influence. Men who gain a better understanding of engaging their women colleagues, enable greater engagements. At the same time, women need to be advocates for themselves. Being true to their own needs and going out to find the career of choice, being more assertive, and being courageous to show how they add value to the business.

Why Should You Regularly Check In With Your Team

In the post-pandemic era with hybrid working situations, engagement with your teams is crucial. Given the day to day hectic work environment, leaders may get caught up in managing crises or running the operations and in managing these day-to-day tasks, often neglect to check in with their team. However, as the leader, you hold your teams together, to ensure that everyone is on the same page and working towards the same objectives.

What happens when leaders regularly check in with the team member, it results in several long term benefits.

Builds trust and communication:
Checking in with your team frequently promotes open communication and the development of their confidence. Your team members are more likely to feel at ease approaching you with queries or concerns if they perceive that you are involved in their progress and can help them overcome their difficulties. As a result, there is a greater sense of engagement and feeling of inclusion.

Identifying challenges and roadblocks:
With regular communication you can spot any obstacles or roadblocks that may be preventing your team members from reaching their objectives. When they share their issues, you can view the information from understanding where the gaps are. These gaps may be caused by anything from lack of clear understanding of the expected outcomes, or skills or even missing information to complete the task. You can work with your team to find answers and keep your projects on track by spotting these problems early on. By doing this, you can make sure that your tasks are finished on schedule and even when on a tight budget.

Improves team morale and motivation:
Checking in with your team frequently can also help to boost drive and team spirit. Your team members are more likely to feel inspired to accomplish their objectives when they perceive themselves as part of a supportive and collaborative work environment. Increased productivity, greater work satisfaction, and lower turnover rates can result from such environments.

Fosters professional development:
Regular team check-ins enable you to monitor the development of your projects. You can keep supporting each team member’s development, by identifying areas of challenges, giving them feedback suggesting they upgrade their skills sets or even empower them to spot potential problems that may be holding up the project pipeline.

Demonstrate Your Concern:
By checking in with your team, you demonstrate that you care about their well-being as well as the organisation’s performance. This shows your team that they are more than just workers, and that their contributions are valued. Employees who feel valued are more likely to be engaged and motivated, resulting in higher productivity and work satisfaction.

With regular communication you can build stronger teams who feel engaged and work towards shared goals. In establishing a positive and productive work environment by demonstrating that you care, you are building their confidence, and empowering them to stay accountable and committed. You can help detect problems in their initial stages of projects As a result you will encourage collaboration, foster professional growth, and job satisfaction which will help with employee retention.

Women have been underrepresented in leadership positions in many industries, and have often been paid less than their male counterparts for doing the same job. Women are great multitaskers and bring in more quality to the work scenario. It’s important for companies to recognize the importance of inclusion and provide more opportunities for women and ensure that they are not overlooked.
