Successful women choose credibility over insecurity. Successful women do not hide behind their insecurities. Instead, they go out and earn credibility through their actions and attitude. They prove their credibility by being effective doers rather than trying to stay under the radar as nice but ineffectual employees. They also understand that once credibility is established, it must be maintained. They know that there is always the chance that what they say or do will affect their reputation. Successful women are passionate about their work. Often overlooked, passion is a crucial point for women who want to make it to the top. "They are extroverted, enthusiastic, and fiercely dedicated. There is no question that they care deeply about their companies and their job performance, and they bring energy to their work that few can match. They have the drive to lead others. Successful women know how to provide strong support to their leaders. A major factor for successful women is knowing when to contribute versus when to take the backseat. Successful women can read their leaders. They can intuit when their immediate boss, manager, or company CEO wants them to contribute a slew of ideas and when he just needs some strong support. And nine times out of ten the best way to provide that support is to listen first, speak second. That's because people who feel they are being listened to—especially leaders—will respect the listener. Successful women put the "pro" in professional. When given an alternative project—even when it is something they may not necessarily have wanted—successful women always handle it like a pro. Doing so shows the people in their organizations that not only are they team players, but they can also change horses mid-stream and still do an excellent job. Successful women build effective teams rather than seek the limelight. Women have a naturally participatory style. We tend to listen to ideas and acknowledge our colleagues. We also have the ability to "read" people's styles, which helps us put the right people together. Rather than try to become the superstar or take all of the credit for achievements that required a group effort, successful women put their teams on a pedestal and never miss an opportunity to applaud their achievements. Successful women know how to earn the respect of their male peers. Yes, Anna Maria Guimaraes is different from most of us. She’s a corporate superstar, very bright, extremely ambitious, and powerful. She’s a very human professional. By showing her humanness, she’s also in the vanguard of a changing working paradigm. This is what we were aiming for. Maybe you don’t want to be part of her working world. Maybe your ambitions are totally different from hers. But I honestly believe that it’s people like Anna Maria Guimaraes who will help shape work life policy in a more equitable, family-friendly direction, and that will in turn make life better for all of us.
