NDILC’s Twelve Women Leadership Principles NAWRB’s Diversity & Inclusion Leadership Council (NDILC) introduced their Twelve Women Leadership Principles in 2020, which they collectively created to help women in the work force become more effective leaders at any stage of their careers, and empower other women to reach their full potential. This is a universal guide for all levels of leadership, and any woman can benefit from applying them.
1. Acknowledge Trailblazers: Know and learn from the women who came before you. We are all standing on the shoulders of giants.
Hosted by Erica Courtney “If you work hard, you will get to where you need to be. Sometimes it just requires a little bit more fight to pave your path.” “Trailblazers help us see how to open doors, how to think differently, and how to break the social stigma.” “You can be a badass and still lead with love.”
2. Keep Achieving: Effective leaders always keep learning. There is always something to learn and improve upon.
Hosted by Kellie Aamodt “Achieving isn’t just in the workplace. Achieving is a lifelong mission.” “If you are passionate about something, it will get you through the tough times.” “When you’re up there in your element, the sky is the limit.”
3. Believe: Whatever the mind can conceive, it can achieve. Hosted by Teresa Palacios Smith “When you tell a child they can do it, they believe they can do it because of you.” “When you think of Keep Achieving and being a Trailblazer, so much of it starts with that belief.” “People feel the best about themselves when they do something they didn’t know they could.” 20
