Why intuitive leadership is the undervalued skill that can set us apart in the tech industry

Last week I spoke about the ways we missing out on trusting our intuition. Today, I wanted to continue on the topic and share how intuitive leadership can be the secret sauce that sets us apart in this fast-paced industry.

Here’s why women in tech need to lean into intuitive leadership:

  1. Intuition fuels innovation: The tech industry thrives on innovation, on seeing what others don’t. Intuition, an innate feminine attribute, allows us to tap into our subconscious and make connections that might not be obvious, leading us to novel, breakthrough solutions.
  2. The human touch in a digital world: As technology becomes more embedded in our lives, there’s a growing need for a human-centered approach in its design and implementation. Our intuition, closely linked with empathy and understanding, enables us to anticipate user needs and develop tech solutions that truly resonate with people.
  3. Balance in decision-making: Data and analytics offer valuable insights, but they don’t paint the full picture. Intuition acts as the counterbalance, filling the gaps left by data, helping us make comprehensive decisions that consider not just the ‘what’ but also the ‘why’.

This perspective shift isn’t about dismissing data but understanding that our intuition is an equally critical asset in the tech world. By integrating both, we can bring a distinct, holistic, and highly effective approach to problem-solving.

And isn’t that a fascinating way to see the world of tech – not just through numbers and code, but also through a lens of empathy, understanding, and intuition? Let’s reclaim the value of intuition and show the tech world the unique edge it brings.

I love helping my clients harness the power of their intuitive leadership and use it to their advantage in the tech industry. Trust me; it can be such a game-changer!

Reflecting on your own experiences, can you think of a situation where embracing your intuition could have led to a different outcome? Respond and let me know, I’d love to hear about your experiences.

Cheers!
