During this time of intense polarization, self-differentiated Gen-X/Millennial woman leaders are finding themselves in an extremely precarious leadership space. Whether you are an activist-oriented leader or a more tempered radical, you may experience intense push-back against your approach(es) to leadership as surrounding system anxiety builds.
To help PROTECT yourself during POLARIZING times:
** Be CLEAR about how you understand your own leadership role and communicate that with others
** Identify whether your organization's ADVOCACY channels and ACCOUNTABILITY structures are effective enough to support you
** Be MINDFUL of your own personal THRESHOLD for system anxiety (i.e. know when enough is enough)
** Develop a strong EXIT strategy to implement when needed
