I have so many titles! Mom, Girlfriend, Sergeant, CEO, Supervisor, and the list goes on. I talk to a lot of women who have a problem with being "The Boss". It is not easy and it comes with it's fair share of complications, but if handled and maintained correctly, it's all work it. So below are some tips to being in charge!
-Stay humble! Nobody likes a cocky or arrogant boss. There is a fine line between confidence and cockiness. Work hard to find that balance to gain respect and maintain it.
-Stand your ground. As a woman, you will be challenged just because you are woman sometimes, because men may not want to follow and woman may want to challenge you. Learn to pick your battles and when you do, GO TO WAR!
-Be confident!!! You didn't get where you are for no reason. A seemingly weak boss is a sad sight to see, so put your big girl drawers on and go for gold!
-Be Self-motivated. It is so easy to say my kids motivate me or money or whatever, but being motivated because you want to please yourself is key. At anytime, your situation could change and hard times could come, so you have too have the ability to pull through FOR YOU!
-Learn to take cultism. It may be hard, but getting feedback, honest feedback from subordinates and such is key to making sure you that you progress and get better!
-Look the part!! When it comes to looking good, its not always about you look but its more about how you feel when you look good and how people perceive you. When you look out of whack, your people can tell so make it your business to be as sharp psychically as you are mentally.
I hope these tips help!!! #SALUTE
