I wanted to share this clip particularly because I find it delightful,
Secondly,
because I feel it demonstrates a great example of feminine vs. masculine PROCESS.
I’ve been spending some time working with Dr. Pauline Crawford-Omps who has been studying gender dynamics in boardroom and business settings for the past 30 years.
I’m about to refer specifically to two generalized forms of execution - based - processes.
One will be called masculine, and the other feminine. These are void of gender but refer to the energetic styles and common formats of process in execution. These energetics often reveal on a SPECTRUM vs. any HARDENED PERMANENT STATE.
When considering these examples, it can be fun to question where on the spectrum you fall in your strength of all or any specific formal process.
OK< that’s settled, let’s dig in!
I will also speak in further posts about why understanding these different formats can help excel your team, career, relationships… business, pretty much everything that you do.
Presently, I’ve observed us as a global species to be in a constant state of battle over this transformation (or battle filled with challenges, obstacles, road blocks, mountains to climb and never-ending rabbit holes to fall through.
Execution and driving projects forward are slowed or halted, frustrations arise, ego’s prey for power over their team, desiring to lord their known process over the others… forgetting the power and potency of each member, leaving the collective picture untapped… It’s true potential.
This is tragic.
If the intention is to move a project forward in hyper potency and not just speed, then it’s time to listen up.
Learning to harmonize a team by leveraging its strengths (feminine process) in a collected format (masculine process) is key.
How do we do this?
Feminine process speaks of YES!…. AND....!
There is always an AND Which can move in all directions, considering the connections to all things, the infinite possibility.. kind of like the movement led on the dance floor.
It’s beautiful, soft, allowing and moving in all directions, it’s almost mesmerizing.
Masculine energy holds the form and offers structure to the chaotic energy.
It offers the boundaries for the energy to flow between, bounce around and pass through.
Essentially It directs the energy towards the intention.
This is the divine compliment of masculine and feminine properties of energy! This is why neither one is ultimately superior, good or bad, better or worse- they are simply complimentary.
This is our next adventure! To practice and strengthen these polarized systems of process with the intention of fusing the systems into one.
To continually assess and reassess HOW - WE - CAN leverage these polar gifts to harmonize our ecosystems so we can thrive, rather than just survive.
Identified Challenges:
The unstructured chaos of the feminine can overwhelm the masculine, because it breaks the structured rules of “one box at a time” vs. The YES- AND approach which considers the global perspective.
Adding structure to the chaos can feel demanding, oppressing or dismissive if not handled with understanding, care and respect.
Overall this demonstrates the presence of unexercised muscles in need of both practice, training and cooperation.
Primarily feminine process dominants have the work to see, hear, and experience the benefits, purpose, and NEED for the masculine. To uphold and honour the masculine to summarize the findings and results implicated from the feminine process and add the structure to drive them forward.
The masculine has the role to see, hear and experience the benefits and PURPOSE from the feminine. To consider the details of how to drive not only to survive, but to excel collectively in the potency of the big picture growth and well-being of its ecosystem.
This is a play of balance, unity and cooperation of pursuing our desired intention.
If we want to make HISTORY, if we want to make a GLOBAL IMPACT!…. Let’s do it! … but let’s do it something different.
Hold love, care and concern for the others wishes, desires, and enjoy yourself too!
Allow the big picture to be met with every small moment and next best action.
Take risks, be bold, treat each other well.
Drive together.
Stay blessed.
Peace, love and community unity yal!
Sincerely,
HAN-Nan- NA-NA -NAH - nah nah nah NUH!
