Mel Robbins: controversial domineering leadership (feminist style)
This video of Mel Robbins may be controversial, but it's a good example of a leadership style that may be too domineering.
Mel ends up being too dominant and overpowering and can come across as masculine.
I cut out the video to show you exactly the parts where she overdoes it:
What are the issues here?
She is generally too forceful and dominant in all of her delivery.
But while at times she changes her pitch for her speech, her commands are always too forceful. And that also creates a big rift between her content and her commanding interludes, which breaks the flow of communication.
It also comes across as insensitive and cold.
She blurts out commands without any regard for the receiver, making her come across as that type of bitchy boss that you would never want to have.
When she addresses the public she is also being too domineering, which is not going to give her any brownie points with the audience.
I'm not sure whether she is forcing herself to push just a little bit too hard or whether that's her natural self, but it comes across as "jarringly overpowering".
I will tell you what most guys would never say but definitely think: "Gosh, I feel sorry for her husband" -and we saw how she treats her husband in "female relationship control" :)-.
There are better ways of marrying femininity and power. See: a guide for female leaders.
