The dominant social and economic systems of today were built for a male leadership archetype - typically white and heterosexual, with a stay-at-home wife and no small amount of privilege. For everyone who doesn’t fit that outdated mold, the corresponding spaces of politics and business are a constant source of friction, and that friction is too often experienced as a personal deficiency rather than a design flaw of the systems themselves.
It’s a model we can’t just “lean in” to.
The League of Badass Women is starting a radical redesign by questioning every assumption that went into building this legacy model. We stimulate transformative conversations that are helping us to develop post-gendered social and economic systems and models of leadership.
Our strength is our community. With over 12,000 members and 22 chapters across the globe, we celebrate and elevate the different characteristics and styles of women leading as themselves, and galvanize every member of our community to bring their full selves into their leadership.
