There’s a well-known book by one of our local authors titled From Boardroom to Bedroom, which explores how women can balance the many roles they hold.
For me, a more feminist approach to leadership means creating spaces where women can truly thrive where the “boardroom” isn’t just a physical place, but any space (even virtual) where meaningful work and decisions can happen. An office should not be the only benchmark for productivity.
Women are natural multitaskers, and leadership models should recognize that flexibility is not a weakness but a strength. If my child is unwell and I’m working from my home office instead of my official one, my productivity might look different but it’s no less impactful.
So the kind of environment women should be encouraged to stay and lead in is one that honors this fluidity and trusts women to lead in ways that align with the realities of their lives.
