It's so interesting how when you're a female leader you're never technical enough until you are and then you're too rigorous and inflexible. Love this labyrinth with no exit for us.

@grimalkina I feel this so hard.

"Be assertive, but not like that"

"Be confident! Oh, sorry, that's too confident"

"Own your expertise! Wait that's too many areas of expertise"

"Get things done! But only via collaboration with people who don't want to collaborate with you"

"You can always speak candidly and transparently here, but we expect high quality communication, which is why we'll interpret everything you say in the most adversarial way possible"

Sigh
