Leadership is Feminine

For most women, when we are invited to study leadership the teachers, scholars, authorities and models are primarily… men. We are indoctrinated from the time we are born that men are the leaders and that natural male characteristics are the strengths you must also possess to be a good leader. Powerful. Strong. Authoritative. Direct. Assertive. Decisive. These and so many more are attributes that are typically associated with the male model of a leader. And so, for the better part of the last one hundred years as women have made their way into the fold, in a variety of leadership roles, we have learned and studied to walk the way of a men to achieve success. Women dismiss their own knowing because we’ve been so indoctrinated in male leadership models. We dismiss what we know for what others tell us to be and how to be seen. There is another way to lead. To be in alignment. To not feel like an imposter. It’s time for the reimagining of leadership. That’s not to disparage any of the progress that has come before us. Progress is progress. For those of us who stand in the footsteps of the women who came before us we are here because of their courage, bravery and resilience. I wonder instead if women equally looked to the characteristics they learned from their mothers for leadership. I wonder if we were taught to lean on different qualities to drive success. I wonder what might happen then? The traditional qualities of mothering are communication, nurturing, listening, strength, support, grace, and yes… love. What if to be the best leader you can be as a woman, you integrated the best of both? This is how women will stand with integrity in their role as leaders. As women, we can be assertive, direct, powerful, and authoritative but we need not only rely on those attributes for success. After 25 years of watching and studying leaders, I can tell you that for sure many traditional male attributes are effective in the short run, but they typically only serve a few. Whereas, when leadership is feminine. When the leader possesses the strengths of femininity and grace the results are for all. This podcast is my like my gentle request and invitation to my fellow female leaders that we reclaim the world leadership as one that is a feminine definition. That we continue to work with all of our allies to build organizations and systems that include more support, collaboration, grace and communication. And that we do so not because we are uncomfortable with the more traditional male-dominating models, but because we truly do know that leadership is a feminine strength and attribute. And the world needs more of us leading. Now more than ever.Copyright © 2019 - 2024 Kris Plachy Economía Gestión Gestión y Liderazgo Liderazgo

  • Your Next Chapter Won’t Come From Your Old Blueprint

    Your Next Chapter Won’t Come From Your Old Blueprint
    Aug 18 2025

    Have you been intentional about what stays in your life—and what goes?

    If you’ve been following this special Beyond the CEO mini-series on the seven transitions every founder must face, you know last week was all about play, curiosity, and exploration. Now, in Transition Six—Intentional Design—we take everything you’ve discovered in that playful, curious phase and start shaping it into a grounded, deliberate vision for what’s next.

    This isn’t about hustling toward another “should.” It’s about building your next chapter with clarity, purpose, and your own rules. Kris shares why this stage only works if you’ve truly given yourself the gift of experimentation first—and how skipping that step leads to recreating the same patterns you’ve outgrown.

    She walks through her own clarity breakthroughs (including a newfound love of pickleball, hosting in-person gatherings, and refining her environment) and invites you to ask yourself: What’s in? What’s out? What’s worth designing into the next version of your life?

    Here’s what we explore:
    • Why play and exploration are prerequisites for true clarity
    • How to sculpt a new vision without dragging old expectations into it
    • The importance of refining, not just adding
    • Why environment, people, and commitments all deserve intentional choice
    • How universal truths guide every stage of your evolution

    This episode is your invitation to stop defaulting to what’s inherited, expected, or safe—and start crafting a life and business that reflects the woman you are now.

  • You Don’t Have to Stay in Your Comfort Cage

    You Don’t Have to Stay in Your Comfort Cage
    Aug 11 2025

    Play. Stillness. Curiosity. When did you stop giving yourself that permission?
    You’re going through the motions in a life you once dreamed of—and wondering when that dream stopped being yours.

    In this episode—the next in Kris's series on the seven essential transitions every successful woman must navigate—she invites you to consider the one most of us avoid: curiosity, play, and exploration.

    This isn’t a conversation about productivity or purpose. It’s about what happens when you finally lift your head, look around, and realize: the version of you running the show today isn’t the woman you were 20 years ago. So why are you still living like she’s in charge?

    Kris shares stories from two recent retreats—including the meditations, discomfort, and unexpected conversations that shook something loose. And she poses a question that might just be your wake-up call: What if it doesn’t matter which path you choose next—only that it brings you joy?

    Here’s what we explore:
    • Why women who “have it all” still feel restless
    • The comfort cage—and how it tricks you into staying stuck
    • How exploration opens doors clarity alone never could
    • Why you owe it to yourself (and your future) to get uncomfortable
    • The identity shift that comes from doing something—anything—new

    You can’t find what’s next wearing the coat of who you used to be.

    So try something on. See how it fits. And don’t be surprised if it changes everything.

  • The Striver’s Dilemma: Who Are You Without the Push?

    The Striver’s Dilemma: Who Are You Without the Push?
    Aug 4 2025


    In this fourth installment of the Seven Transitions Every Successful Woman Must Navigate series, Kris explores the fog that can settle in after years of striving, building, leading, and achieving.

    When the urgency fades, when the goals have been met, when your days are no longer dictated by survival or ambition... who are you now?

    This is the striver’s dilemma.

    In this episode, Kris shares reflections from two recent retreats—one with Arthur Brooks, one with Rebecca Campbell—that offered wildly different but equally profound insights. She weaves together data, mysticism, and lived experience to guide you through the discomfort (and deep potential) of Transition Four: Reclaiming Future Clarity.

    You’ll hear:
    • Why dreaming after success feels murky, not magical
    • How the absence of urgency can feel disorienting instead of freeing
    • The one question to ask before launching into your next project or business
    • Why the next version of you won’t be found in a revenue dashboard or your to-do list

    If you’re standing in the in-between—done with what was, unsure of what’s next—this episode will meet you there. Not with answers, but with the kind of questions that can change everything.
