• 0:14
  The reason this podcast is een English this because last week i
• 0:19
  was at an event with a lut of International female leaders and
• 0:25
  I think that they might be interessant to here.
• 0:29
  This message again in English so devle for one time.
• 0:35
  Maar In de podcast good Morning. My name is Annemarie van de
• 0:39

  industrie leaders, logistic director, sport executive.
• 0:54
  Energy professionals. And the fame of the Advent was
• 0:58
  how we shape the next generation of change makers, and I was on
• 1:03
  the panel with five people. Only thirty minutes and the
• 1:09
  question on the table was, what can we actually do in the work
• 1:14
  Place tomorrow? And I want to tell you World
• 1:18
  happened in dadtroom because something shiftd not in the
• 1:23
  keynote and not in the formal discussion, but in a single
• 1:27
  Exchange with one Young Woman who werking Wright next to me.
• 1:33
  And I think it's the most important thing the i can tell
• 1:36
  you today. Die event brothogether Women
• 1:42
  from sectors that are know for their diversity.
• 1:46
  Poorts Energy Heavy industrie Logistics.
• 1:51
  DSR environments for Leadership has looked acurt way for a very
• 1:56
  loan time and White a pressure to fit in that image is not a
• 2:02
  suto sutle. En de panel was to move from
• 2:07
  reflection to action, not to talk about what we need to
• 2:11
  changeing Theory, but to name what has actually work in
• 2:15
  practice and what we can practice today.
• 2:20
  En, what have you done to made that differentce?
• 2:23
  And what can someone in this orience ko back todaire
• 2:27
  organisation and can implement today this Morning?
• 2:34
  En Hij heeft binnen in many of the skind of conversations.
• 2:39
  En what I consistently notice is that the most important Barrier
• 2:44
  to change is not policy, it's not budget, it is not even
• 2:50
  culture. Iets te miss identification?
• 2:55
  Women in deze rooms do not see there own profile clearly, and
• 3:02
  because day. Do not seed clearly day cannot
• 3:07
  position it day not claim it and they cannot de vent it when it
• 3:13
  challenged and that was the frame i bot to the panel and
• 3:19
  Dance something happend deptmaated concrete in away I
• 3:23
  have not planted. There was this Young Woman inher
• 3:29
  late twenties. I think swe was the jonges
• 3:33
  person at the table by at least de cate, and she was articulat.
• 3:40
  Shoes is precies and she was visibley carrying something and
• 3:47
  one Point sheet directly sheep feld that sheet not have the
• 3:53
  level of detail of hoppes and she will still ketching up shit.
• 4:00
  Not sure shoul inough to really contribute at the level.
• 4:07
  The room Purchase working expected.
• 4:11
  And I wanted to puls air for moment because I have heart this
• 4:16
  before i have heir dit from Women of twenty eight and high
• 4:20
  for heard this from Women of thirty five, forty six and even
• 4:26
  fifty two. The words maybe different, but
• 4:29
  this trucure under niet is i dentical.
• 4:34
  En der is A Standard files just out of REACH.
• 4:39
  Der is een sands of notquite being there JET.
• 4:45
  Er is eenquiet but persistent believe that the problem is the
• 4:50
  visit that if your just new more when deeper specialized forth
• 5:00
  wood close. Samed this i was watchingür i
• 5:05
  happing watching here for the previous twenty minutes and what
• 5:12
  I have sing was this. She haste thequestions that
• 5:19
  refmed the inty discussion. Connected something the first
• 5:23
  keynote speakers set in the early afternoon.
• 5:29
  En, in a way, but nobody in the room haad done JET.
• 5:36
  She head The Energy Attatable en neemt something that everybody
• 5:42
  was thinking, but nobody heat set out.
• 5:47
  En, She did notice. So I Esther Onequestion.
• 5:59
  Is it possible that you are a generalist?
• 6:05
  En She Cutquiet. And not because she that not
• 6:08
  understand my question. But she recognized something in
• 6:12
  it. En iwance two ex plane what i
• 6:19
  ment by that, because I think. This is the most mis understude
• 6:26
  dynamic in professional development of Women today.
• 6:32
  We operate in Systems that werkbeeld around a particular
• 6:36
  model of expertise, the specialist, the person who goals
• 6:42
  deep into domain. Beelds irreplacable knowledge in
• 6:48
  that thirtical and the rives there Authority from the
• 6:54
  position and dept. Of what they no.
• 6:59
  En this model is visible. And Rewdeded and Organisations
• 7:06
  Now to measureed job descriptions are riten arounded
• 7:13
  salaris reflecton it and promoten criteria reference.
• 7:19
  And the generalist does not fit in this model and fores dad
• 7:27
  haspin treedt as a problem to solve.
• 7:34
  De generalist Sea Spatherns cross dominees.
• 7:38
  Xi Integrates Informations that others keep in separate silo's.
• 7:46
  She Read the system wowders our Reading their own part of it and
• 7:53
  shealt the long view. She managers detention between
• 7:58
  what urgent and important shaeed developbs people who canot jet
• 8:04
  see they're on potential. And She Connects what the
• 8:07
  finance director set on mundy and what the Operation Slet
• 8:13
  Impies on Thirday. In away that changers what need
• 8:18
  to hapten on Friday? En She dus this all fluently.
• 8:26
  Sheidas non-afit in away that maps in two, a single KPI.
• 8:33
  En zo, she looks at the specialist bezit hare, the one
• 8:38
  with the clean matrix, and she concludes.
• 8:43
  Dead seese some still behind. En that conclusion is not
• 8:53
  aconference problem it mis identification.
• 8:58
  She is not a specialist who has not specialized inough.
• 9:04
  He is a generalist who has never beging given the correct label
• 9:09
  for whatch he does. En, She has internalized the
• 9:13
  specialist hierarchy so furly that sah has begon to measure
• 9:19
  here own value against a Standard that is never design
• 9:24
  for aur profile. En deze is the pattern icy
• 9:30
  everywhere. De CFO houses i'm Just a finance
• 9:35
  person de ceo ses, i'm not really a specialist in anything
• 9:41
  and the director whole present your own ide and prefixes it
• 9:46
  with this is prober bly a stupedquestion but.
• 9:51
  En these are not Women who lek confidence in the conventual
• 9:57
  Sense. These are Women WHO have binning
• 10:01
  the wrong diagnostic on them zelfs for years.
• 10:08
  And I want to be specific about what this miss identification
• 10:15
  actually casts because i think we talk about gender gebaps in
• 10:21
  leadership in waste that are way to abstract to be useful.
• 10:28
  Kuncidher what youre'sking of a Woman who genually believe sees
• 10:33
  notquite good enough. Your asking heard to raise for
• 10:39
  hand for promotion to puter name forward for the board position
• 10:45
  to Challenge the PA structure in a room where is allredy.
• 10:53
  Concertantweether contribution is visible to makeher ambition
• 10:56
  known in spaces where she is not sure she has fully earn the
• 11:03
  White to piek that directly. And not because the ambition is
• 11:12
  absent because heart ambition is there.
• 11:16
  In a bundens but a wish up ambition announced for a
• 11:22
  position of precies. The Visit is non anition, it is
• 11:29
  exposure and she has learnt the hardway through years of
• 11:34
  operating in the system. That's never name what she dust.
• 11:38
  That exposure with oude Foundation is a liability.
• 11:44
  En de gender geb is not only a negotation problem.
• 11:50
  It's all sowe a recognition problem een significant number
• 11:55
  of Women WHO have ever professional Lee just who have
• 12:00
  every professional justification to agsiate a hire sality salaryy
• 12:05
  do not believe there own case strongly alle to make.
• 12:12
  Day can not fully articulated the value.
• 12:17
  And Snot because de value is not there.
• 12:22
  But because the language for it does not exist in organizations
• 12:28
  they working. En de samedynamic Place.
• 12:34
  Oud at the table in every meeting every week.
• 12:39
  De generalist seas something that nobody else sheals back.
• 12:44
  Horizon horizoning is completely logical.
• 12:49
  If this wordt someone Wood have mansion dit al ready, and the
• 12:55
  fact that nobody has mansion that confirnece in ear mind
• 13:00
  that's probley not as s significant ashy things.
• 13:05
  She A justs shees shess nothing. And that Insight.
• 13:13
  Good have change the Direction of the conversation.
• 13:19
  En, this is not a Communication value.
• 13:23
  It's a recognition value. Shit das not trust haar own
• 13:28
  signobicos she dus not jet understand that pear Signal
• 13:33
  comed from a different instrument that nobody als in
• 13:37
  the room has. Zo Er is een Structural
• 13:46
  Dimension to this. And the righ think it dessert,
• 13:50
  it's own Space Indisch conversation.
• 13:54
  The matric DAD capture war, a generalist LEADER actually
• 14:00
  delivers our almost universally classified as soft.
• 14:07
  Retention reduction in escalation, cross divisional
• 14:12
  impact. Talent development, Long Term
• 14:17
  Strategy coherents. Organisational health.
• 14:24
  These areasure slower to appeer and more digicaled to contribute
• 14:31
  to a single person and day do not show up cleanley in
• 14:38
  aquarterly review and meen wil de specialist output is.
• 14:44
  Is there revenus generated cases close project deliver on time
• 14:50
  The Organization rewards what it cancount and it counts the
• 14:55
  specialist contribution more isly so, the generalist LEADER.
• 15:03
  Sids in a performance review with the setup KP is that do not
• 15:08
  reflect what the actually does the hears feedback.
• 15:13
  That's positive but fake. En C Recees A rating that feels
• 15:19
  totally disconnected from the Year and whatch you has lift?
• 15:26
  En shea walks Out less courton of aurome position, then wordt
• 15:32
  sheworked in. En she dust, not race the pay
• 15:36
  discussion she dust noterself forward for the next Roll and
• 15:41
  she does not make are ambition visible because the system has
• 15:46
  Conference once again that what sheadows is not valute but.
• 15:53
  Notquide meshurable. Important, but notquite Central.
• 16:03
  Good. Wat natquirité that getreded at
• 16:08
  the highse level. And until the KP is that capture
• 16:15
  generalistic leadership our treedt with the same regur as
• 16:21
  specialist output. De dynamic will not change
• 16:26
  structurely and that is aconversation that people in
• 16:31
  rooms like the one eye was in on Friday need to be heaffing with
• 16:37
  real urgency. And I'm going to tell you what i
• 16:43
  believe Works, because based on all the sheers of working with
• 16:49
  Women in senior level, a cross corporates and entrepreneur
• 16:54
  context, a cross sectors, Rolls and lifestagers stages.
• 17:02
  De change that matthers is not another programma about
• 17:05
  presence, voice and self advocacy.
• 17:10
  Tose programma's, Streets, Synthes and day teach Women two
• 17:14
  perform confidence in a system that hasgiving them every
• 17:19
  response to dout them selfs. En without Addressing the
• 17:24
  underline Miss identification letters drivinged behavior in
• 17:28
  the first Place. En de change that matters is
• 17:33
  recognition specifi precize recognition of what kind of
• 17:38
  LEADER she Actually is and what herprofile gen jullie.
• 17:46
  Producers. Which matrix act jullie capture
• 17:52
  contribution. En what it means to operate from
• 17:55
  that profile fully rout and apping.
• 18:00
  Voor de fact that sheust not look like the specialist and
• 18:05
  want so Woman correctly identifice hü self as a
• 18:09
  generalist hadden a fild specialist the end tireframe
• 18:15
  shifts. She is no loncher measure ring
• 18:18
  herself against Asten that was never designd for her.
• 18:24
  Sha's a different question to ask in the room, a different
• 18:29
  case to make in the acotiation. A different Foundation from
• 18:35
  witch to make-hur ambition visible, and that's what happens
• 18:41
  with the Young Woman in the panel on Friday.
• 18:47
  One question forwards. Is het possible you RA
• 18:54
  generalist something shiftd. En, that is not a small thing.
• 19:01
  That's the thing that makes everything elles possible, and i
• 19:06
  startte this episode by telling you about the room full of
• 19:10
  change makers. Women WHO aur all ready shaping
• 19:14
  what leadership looks like in some of the most traditional
• 19:20
  sectors in the economy. And what I want to leven you
• 19:25
  with is this. The next generation of change
• 19:29
  makers is not going to emerge from confidence workshops and
• 19:35
  visibility trainings alone. It is going to emergt for Women
• 19:40
  who have correctly diagnost there own profile.
• 19:45
  Hoe understand what day actually producer and what stops running
• 19:51
  the wrong mashurements again stem selfs.
• 19:55
  En de generalist is not a specialist who has not ave chat
• 20:00
  the generalist leader in the board room cannot function
• 20:04
  without. In een rol that is almost nobody
• 20:11
  has ever correctly named for her.
• 20:15
  Zo, if you are listening to this and something in it landed and
• 20:21
  you want to sit with one question and not the question of
• 20:24
  what you still need to learn. De question of Weether you have
• 20:31
  ever correct liesy scene, what you all ready r.
• 20:36
  Thats what the work begins. I think i my be a generalist.
• 20:46
  But how CAN i make this work for me?
• 20:49
  And I am so Great full. That's the one man in our panel.
• 20:53
  En soort that specificquestion. En he Advisor.
• 20:59
  Get coach, get a mentor, get some one with een outside
• 21:05
  perspective to help you to implement your generalistic
• 21:10
  features yourself. En de panel turn to me because
• 21:17
  IM one of those mentors. En hij telt her.
• 21:23
  Doe het. Because if i regret something,
• 21:27
  it is the i never asked for coach or mentor when i nee
• 21:33
  needed it and you want anwy because I was afraid to ask for
• 21:39
  help because ifeld that i would be and seen as in competent if i
• 21:46
  war to ask for a coach or mentor.
• 21:49
  En het DADPOINT I still. Istyle fold that I also was a
• 21:55
  specialist, not jet arrived. At the Place I need the two.
• 22:03
  OK, i'm animary van The tilart. En, this is my view on the
• 22:09
