Overview:

Leadership often demands a careful balance between long-term vision and immediate action. For leaders, this balance can involve navigating a strategic-tactical divide, shifting between high-level thinking and the day-to-day demands of task execution.

While this dual focus is essential for driving results, it can also create unique challenges, especially when context switching becomes constant and mentally taxing.

This session explores how women leaders manage the cognitive load of moving between strategy and execution. We’ll discuss the hidden demands of this balancing act and offer practical tools for adjusting leadership style based on context, without losing sight of long-term goals.

How do leaders stay grounded in strategy while remaining responsive to operational needs? What frameworks can support more sustainable, flexible leadership? And how can organizations better support women in roles that demand both vision and precision?

Join us for a conversation about the mental agility, adaptability, and resilience required to lead effectively across multiple dimensions.
