EP 126 | Here Come The Girls With Leadership Skills Anyone Can Learn

How might your organization benefit from embracing the leadership qualities that women naturally bring to the workplace? Discover a groundbreaking forecast for economic transformation on this episode of the Work Positive Podcast with Dr. Joey Faucette. Dr. Don Barden, author of "Here Come the Girls," shares his pioneering research on why women are poised to take over global leadership between 2028-2032 and how this shift will create unprecedented economic growth. Listen as Dr. Joey and Dr. Don explore: ☀️ The three-step approach women use in critical thinking and problem-solving that dramatically outperforms traditional leadership models ☀️ How female-led businesses outproduce male-led counterparts in revenue and profits by a 3-to-1 ratio ☀️ Why employees in female-led companies stay twice as long and increase productivity over time ☀️ The power of creating a workforce where everyone feels seen, heard, and understood ☀️ How these leadership skills can be learned by anyone, regardless of gender Dr. Barden transforms organizations by helping leaders prepare for a monumental economic shift that will be driven by women's collaborative leadership approach. His comprehensive three-year study reveals that when leaders make team members feel valued through sympathy, empathy, and empowerment, both workers and consumers respond with unprecedented loyalty and productivity. 🔑 Key Insight: "The women aren't saying you need to change your mind—they're challenging us to think differently about how we think about the way we think about our thinking. Don't change your mind, but maybe there's a different way to do it. That's called inclusion." 💡 Your DOT (Do One Thing): Make a top-down commitment to changing your leadership mindset. Practice the three steps to confidence: be committed, be courageous, and seek the capabilities you need. When you've done these three things, you earn the right to be confident.
