What is the current model of leadership in businesses and organisations today? Is everyone represented in this model, and who does it serve?
On this episode I had the pleasure of yarning with Ros Cardinal, an executive coach and facilitator, author, and speaker based in Tasmania, Australia. In 2012 she founded her own business, Shaping Change, to help overcome workplace challenges and build positive team cultures. The programs and tools she offers are too many to list here, but include unconscious bias, emotional intelligence, improving communication and strategic planning.
Ros shares a bit about her background and what led her to start Shaping Change, including the changes in leadership style and structure she has seen across her career. We dive into her "why" that continues to drive her, which includes Ros' daughter entering the workforce and realising not much has changed.
We yarn about the origins of today's version of leadership, the reasons why women are largely missing from this model, and why women trying to change themselves to fit this model is the wrong answer. Ros shares her views on why patriarchal leadership serves very few people in reality, and how female-led organisations are doing things differently.
Ros has developed the Women's Leader Archetypes, which she has been powerfully incorporating into women's leadership training and coaching. Ros tells us all about what these archetypes mean and their practical applications, but also the responses she has received from female leaders who finally feel seen.
To find out more about the awesome services Ros offers check out her website Shaping Change, and click here for more info on the Women's Leader Archetypes. You can also find Ros on LinkedIn, Facebook and Twitter.
