You say sheโs too direct- but would you say the same if it came from him?
A male colleague gives instructions - itโs leadership.
A woman gives the same instructions and sheโs โdifficult,โ โbossy,โ or โneeds to work on her delivery.โ
You donโt need to admit it out loud.
But it shows up in the eye-rolls.
The pushback.
The quiet undermining.
I had a client once - female, senior, competent.
She led a team of mostly men.
And almost weekly, one of them would โdouble-checkโ her decisions with the male director above her.
Even though she was right.
Even though it was her project.
Even though she was the one running the show.
And before you think itโs a generational issueโฆ..
the ones pushing back were often younger.
Itโs learned behaviour that still lives in workplaces today- because we donโt challenge it properly. Or worse -
Some ignore it or pretend it doesn't exist.
So letโs be honest:โณ Do some men (and some women) feel undermined being managed by a woman?
โณ Do you interpret female authority as more aggressive?
โณ Are instructions questioned more when they come from her?
Because if the answer is yes, then
NEWS FLASH! -
Youโre not just slowing her career...
Youโre silently compromising your business decisions, too.
So how do I manage these matters for my clients?โณ Spotting invisible resistance patterns in team dynamics
โณ Breaking the habit of confidence-draining โsecond opinionsโ
โณ Balancing communication styles without silencing women
โณ Re-training teams to respect the role, not the gender
And the outcome?โ๏ธ Women lead without second-guessing themselves
โ๏ธ Men follow without ego or fragility
โ๏ธ And your business runs faster, stronger, and better

If she has to prove sheโs in charge -
she never really had the authority to begin with.
