Why high-achieving women are targeted by unsafe leaders. 💔 As a CEO, I've seen this pattern destroy too many brilliant careers. The stories that come to me are heartbreaking - and infuriatingly predictable. High-achieving women become targets because they represent a threat to insecure leadership. Your competence, confidence, and results expose their inadequacy. So they try to diminish you before you outshine them. Here's what I've witnessed: The undermining. Your ideas get dismissed in meetings, then repeated by someone else and praised. Your expertise gets questioned publicly while mediocre male colleagues get the benefit of the doubt. The isolation. You're excluded from key decisions, informal networks, and "boys club" conversations where real business happens. They make you feel like an outsider in your own workplace. The impossible standards. You're held to perfection while others get away with mediocrity. One mistake gets magnified while your wins get minimized or attributed to luck. The gaslighting. When you speak up, you're "too aggressive." When you're collaborative, you're "not leadership material." You can't win because the game is rigged. The truth? This isn't about your performance - it's about their insecurity. Unsafe leaders target high achievers because your success threatens their fragile ego and exposes their incompetence. You deserve better. Your talent, drive, and results speak for themselves. Don't let toxic leadership dim your light.
