Women have <strong>a special legacy of caring leadership<\/strong>&nbsp;and today they have the opportunity and the <strong>responsibility to bring it to the table<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Right down to our DNA, as women we are wired around <strong>birth and care<\/strong>: something that&#8217;s allowed our species to survive as long as our ability to hunt.

The bigger, the better.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><em><br><\/em><em>Yes, power can flourish.<br><\/em><em>But it does so like a tree: if it generates life,<\/em><br><em>it is just an externality of its natural will to elevate.<br><\/em><em>Throughout the centuries, power developed<br><\/em><em>by detaching itself from the grounded things of life.<br><\/em><em>Life was intentionally life behind<br><\/em><em>so it didn&#8217;t &#8220;hold back&#8221; growth.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h5 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span style=\"color: #800080;\"><strong>Deciding what power really means<\/strong><\/span><\/h5>\n\n\n\n<p><em>But why?<br><\/em><em>When did we agree that power would be about supremacy, strength and victory over others?<\/em><br><em>Did we ever have an alternative?<br><\/em><em>The oldest and longest phase of human history, the prehistorical era:<br><\/em><em>that&#8217;s when the current model of power took its roots,<\/em><br><em>in a primary instinct which kept us alive:<br><\/em><em>our capacity to hunt and fight, playing a zero-sum game with other species.<br><\/em><em>Yes, hunting was an absolute.<br><\/em><em>We couldn&#8217;t come out of it with a draw.<br><\/em><em>Men either won or lost,<\/em><br><em>it meant survival or death.<br><\/em><em>This powerful model wired man&#8217;s brain,<br><\/em><em>to the point that &#8220;fight or flight&#8221; has become its automatic response to stress.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><em><br><\/em><em>Today, this template rules most of human activities:<br><\/em><em>in the economic arena, as in the political one,<br><\/em><em>we unconsciously apply a zero-sum game.<br><\/em><em>We compete, we fight, we either win or lose, always.<\/em><br><em>Of course!<\/em><br><em>How could we disobey such a deep and historical instinct?<br><\/em><em>And it&#8217;s a male instinct.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><em><br><\/em><em>The reason why &#8220;Anthropos&#8221; means both &#8220;human being&#8221; and &#8220;man&#8221; is not the lack of linguists&#8217; creativity.<\/em><br><em>There is instead a deep truth here.<\/em><br><em>For many centuries, for milennia,<br><\/em><em>the history of men overlapped with that of humanity.<br><\/em><em>Men were the creators and the storytellers.<br><\/em><em>Their instincts and attitudes shaped the world as we see it today.<br><\/em><em>The human species carries the heritage of millennia of manhood.<br><\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h5 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span style=\"color: #800080;\"><strong>The biggest minority group<\/strong><\/span><\/h5>\n\n\n\n<p><em>Today, women make up only 5 percent of the economic decision-making power in the world, despite being 50 percent of the population.<br><\/em><em>Out of 146 countries, there are only 15 female leaders<br><\/em><em>eight of whom are their country&#8217;s first woman in power.<br><\/em><em>The economic case for diversity has been recently proven,<br><\/em><em>and women have been invited to join the game, as you can see.<br><\/em><em>The doors of power are open.<br><\/em><em>Programs are teaching us how to behave in order to fit,<\/em><br><em>quotas are freeing our seats,<br><\/em><em>men are asked to make an extra effort not to follow their instinct<br><\/em><em>in selecting peers who look and behave like them.<br><\/em><em>Women have received a sort of invitation, which sounds a bit like this:<br><\/em><em>&#8220;You&#8217;re welcome to play with us: these are the rules.<br><\/em><em>Please don&#8217;t expect them to change according to your talent and inclinations.&#8221;<br><\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h5 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span style=\"color: #800080;\"><strong>An invitation to sit at the table<\/strong><\/span><\/h5>\n\n\n\n<p><em>So, women started to join in the game:<br><\/em><em>they could wear uniforms to fit in better<br><\/em><em>and not disturb those who were there before them.<\/em><br><em>Women could learn how to run, to compete, to fight for victory.<br><\/em><em>They could even learn how to play football, and to like it!<br><\/em><em>They were entitled to change a few colours, as long as they don&#8217;t discuss the overall outfit of power, and they don&#8217;t pretend to wear a tie!<\/em><br><em>A few women got in, in a way or another:<\/em><br><em>they proved they could play the game, they could sit at the table and follow the rules.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><em><br><\/em><em>But why so few of them?<\/em><br><em>Why, despite the clear attempts to drag women into power,<\/em><br><em>are women not getting there?<br><\/em><em>It looks like they need a damn good reason<br><\/em><em>to leave their comfortable minority seats<br><\/em><em>and they are not getting it.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h5 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span style=\"color: #800080;\"><strong>Giving women a reason to write the future<\/strong><\/span><\/h5>\n\n\n\n<p><em><br><\/em><em>I

excitement.<\/em><br><em>In fact, I wasn&#8217;t there to get a bigger car!<\/em><br><em>This is not a detail as it may seem.<br><\/em><em>It&#8217;s the storyteller that defines who wins, and what the reward is.<br><\/em><em>And if you don&#8217;t like the reward, it might be because you didn&#8217;t write the story.<\/em><br><em>And what&#8217;s worse, this makes you less interested in writing it, also in the future.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><em><br><\/em><em>Why should women write the definition of power?<br><\/em><em>They&#8217;ve held the minority seat for the last 5,000 years<\/em><br><em>making it possible for them to sit and complain,<br><\/em><em>leaving their hands free to fix all those little things around them that are not working.<br><\/em><em>Free not to sign contracts that they don&#8217;t like,<br><\/em><em>nor to follow uncomfortable roads.<\/em><br><em>It takes a lot of effort and motivation to aspire<br><\/em><em>to a power you don&#8217;t identify with.<br><\/em><em>Especially if the reward is a car.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h5 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span style=\"color: #800080;\"><strong>An opportunity for change<\/strong><\/span><\/h5>\n\n\n\n<p><em><br><\/em><em>Maybe good old Nietzsche was right when he said that<\/em><br><em>&#8220;In the end, things must be as they are and have always been.&#8221;<br><\/em><em>You see, the effort that our society is making is to leave things as they are,<br><\/em><em>by asking women to adapt to our current values,<br><\/em><em>such as finance, technology, competition.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><em><br><\/em><em>Well, I hope that this effort fails, because what we have now, today,<\/em><br><em>is a unique opportunity for our species to evolve,<br><\/em><em>if women change current values, instead of being changed by them.<\/em><br><em>I believe that our call, as women, is not to join the game,<br><\/em><em>but to change the game.<\/em><br><em>Not to adapt to power, nor to replace it, but to enrich it.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><em><br><\/em><em>Up until 3,000 years before Christ, pre-European civilizations were based on the celebration of life.<\/em><br><em>They adored a fertility goddess.<br><\/em><em>And the sociologist Riane Eisler said, they believed in linking more than in ranking.<\/em><br><em>There was no &#8220;ranking&#8221; between men and women: they completed each other, and their joint power doubled.<br><\/em><em>In these civilizations, as Merlin Stone said it, God was a woman.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h5 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span style=\"color: #800080;\"><strong>What&#8217;s so different about women?<\/strong><\/span><\/h5>\n\n\n\n<p><em><br><\/em><em>The question for modern women is: what&#8217;s so different about women?<\/em><br><em>What&#8217;s the unique tribute that we can bring to the world today?<br><\/em><em>I believe that women have a special legacy, and that today we have the possibility and responsibility to bring it to power.<br><\/em><em>Women&#8217;s DNA is wired with birth and caregiving,<br><\/em><em>a characteristic that has enabled the success of our species as much as<\/em><br><em>our ability to hunt, or perhaps even more so.<\/em><br><em>For there is no other species in Nature that needs caregiving as much as ours, after birth.<\/em><br><em>And in no other species, as much as in ours, being social is a unique way to survive.<\/em><br><em>It&#8217;s always been like this.<br><\/em><em>It&#8217;s a very powerful template,<br><\/em><em>that women can embody and project,<br><\/em><em>bringing a new perspective to the world.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h5 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span style=\"color: #800080;\"><strong>We react differently<\/strong><\/span><\/h5>\n\n\n\n<p><em><br><\/em><em>In the year 2000, a research professor Shelley Taylor revealed that when threatened, women don&#8217;t respond with &#8220;fight or flight&#8221;.<\/em><br><em>She wrote: <\/em><em>From an evolutionary standpoint, women evolved as caregivers.<br><\/em><em>In the &#8220;fight or flight&#8221; model, if women fight and lose, then they are leaving an infant behind.<\/em><br><em>By the same token, it&#8217;s a lot harder to run away if you are carrying an infant and you&#8217;re not going to leave it behind.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><em><br><\/em><em>So, how do women react when threatened?<\/em> What&#8217;s their own adaptive model?<br><em>First, research found that women under stress typically spend more time tending to their children.<br><\/em><em>This tending instinct is something so rooted in women that they don&#8217;t need to be biological mothers to have it.<\/em><br><em>Second, females in times of stress also form tight social bonds, to seek out for others.<\/em><br><em>This is the so-called befriending instinct.<\/em> It means that in stressful situations women forge alliances, they avoid fights, they rely on interdependencies.<br><em>That&#8217;s also women&#8217;s primary instinct.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><em><br><\/em><em>How heavily do you see that the &#8220;fight or flight&#8221; model influences our current model of power?<br><\/em><em>How amazing would it be to enrich it with a more female, tend-and-befriend attitude?<br><\/em><em>That&#8217;s how women can contaminate power, with care and alliances.<br><\/em><em>A model that comes from an evolutionary template so close and easy to us.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h5 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span style=\"color:
