Women walk the smallest of tightropes at work. If we come across too nurturing and warm, we are too soft to be leaders. If we take-charge, we are aggressive. It’s a constant battle of mental gymnastics where we have to speak up and get our point across without interrupting or disagreeing too much. In this episode of Women on Work, Liz and Alysia talk about the double bind – what it is, what it feels like, and how we all need to refine what a leader looks like to expand opportunities for all.
