Olga Azarova: 20 Secrets of Leading Women’s Communities






Dr Olga Azarova,
Founder & President of World Woman Club International Business Network, Founder of 44 businesses, Laureate of the FORTUNE 500 Most Powerful Women Award, USA.

Over 20 years of leading a women’s club, I have gained a deep understanding of both female sensitivity and fragility, and at the same time, female endurance and heroism. From this experience, I can share 20 secrets of working with women’s communities — an alchemy of emotion, strength, and wisdom.

1. Women only recently gained their rights.
Just a hundred years ago, women in most countries had no rights — no rights to property, education, or even their own children.
Today, we witness a powerful compensatory demand for women’s leadership and development — something that was suppressed for thousands of years by religious dogmas and patriarchal systems.
This modern era of female leadership began only 30–50 years ago. Our Club has been part of this awakening for 20 years.

2. Women have little historical experience in collective leadership.
Aside from the Amazons and the first suffragists, women rarely led together.
That’s why they now need conscious collective leadership — a shared direction, a beacon of purpose, and the ability to unite around higher goals.

3. Women are delicate, emotional, and deeply sensitive.
To lead them, you must rise above emotional turbulence — to observe with a “third eye.”
Sometimes women need to vent, to laugh or cry — but everything returns to harmony if love remains the foundation.
Never give too much weight to emotional reactions. They pass like rain, and sunshine always returns.

4. Toxicity is different from sensitivity.
Some women carry deep wounds and unconsciously project them onto others.
If such pain spreads through a community, it can harm the collective.
In these cases, gentle separation — like a healing amputation — may be needed to protect the organism.
Do not judge or resent such women; let them go with love. They often return once their hearts heal.

5. Women are more resilient than men.
Scientific research proves that women can endure greater emotional and moral strain.
It’s connected to motherhood — the biological ability to turn off pain and focus on survival for the sake of their children.
In times of war, this resilience becomes a sacred skill: not reacting to noise or chaos, but continuing to move toward the light.
If not for strong mothers, there would be no strong sons or daughters.

6. Women cannot tolerate emptiness.
If there is no movement, meaning, or creative energy, women begin to “occupy themselves with each other.”
That’s why a women’s leader must always provide direction — projects, purpose, inspiration.
When there is creation, there is no destruction.
 
7. Women need beauty.
Even in business communities, women crave harmony, elegance, and aesthetic pleasure.
The club’s space must be visually beautiful and emotionally warm.
Flowers, music, light, and small details — they’re not decor, but a language of love and respect.
Beauty is how women feel seen and valued.

8. Women live by heart, not by rules.
Formal regulations are useless without love.
You can write all the policies you want, but without an emotional connection, the community will break apart. A strong women’s organisation is built on trust, mutual love, and calm dialogue — not on authority or fear.
If a community needs to change direction, everyone should agree gracefully.
And if it doesn’t work right away — try again, a thousand times if needed — because love and trust must be stronger than ego.
If you only love yourself, don’t join a women’s club.
If you’re not ready to listen, explain, and unite — don’t seek leadership.

9. Women need an example.
Not a commander, but a lighthouse leader who inspires through strength and calmness.
Women don’t follow orders — they follow energy.
In times of war or crisis, especially in Ukraine, women seek inner strength.
When one woman remains strong, others believe they can too.
This energy of spirit creates a collective quantum field of resilience.

10. Women need recognition.
Every woman wants to be seen, heard, and appreciated.
A simple “thank you” or acknowledgement of her effort reignites her motivation.
A wise leader generously shares light — praises, thanks, and inspires.
Recognition is the fuel of love.

11. Women grow through relationships.
The best version of a woman is born in a circle of other women.
Competition destroys, but sisterhood heals.
Therefore, a woman’s leader must protect the atmosphere of respect, lineage, and warmth, like a mother protects the home.

12. Women sense falseness instantly.
A woman’s leader cannot be “a formal figure.”
They intuitively feel motives, tone, and energy.
The only way to lead is to be authentic.
Even difficult truths are accepted when spoken sincerely.
True allies don’t attack mistakes — they smile, support, and move forward together.

13. Women are alchemists of pain.
Almost every woman has faced loss, betrayal, or fear — but feminine energy can transform suffering into compassion.
That’s why communities must allow space for honesty and healing.
Conflict and renewal are natural parts of growth.
Whatever doesn’t break us — makes us wiser and stronger.

14. Women need a sense of belonging.
They must feel part of something greater — a mission, a movement, a legacy.
A women’s club isn’t just a “group of ladies” — it’s a force of change.
When there is a shared mission, energy flows freely.

15. Women need the energy of celebration.
A woman’s community is a living organism that feeds on joy.
Celebrations, anniversaries, forums, retreats, and photoshoots are not vanity, but renewal.
Without beauty, laughter, and dance, the community fades.

16. Women get tired of drama — but they can’t live without emotion.
Emotion is part of female nature.
The secret is to transform emotions into creativity.
Let women express — cry, laugh, or complain — then rise again like a Phoenix.
A wise leader channels emotional energy into creation, not destruction.

17. Women cannot grow without spirituality.
A woman without a soul connection loses her centre.
The club should be more than a meeting space — it must be a field of awareness, inspiration, and meaning.
Spirituality isn’t religion — it’s the understanding of why we live, why we walk together, what unites us, and what we’re building as a civilisation of femininity.
After 20 years, our mission has crystallised — and continues to evolve.

18. Women need symbols and rituals.
They create a sense of unity and sacredness.
A candle of gratitude, a song, a shared colour — these small things carry deep energy.
Symbols are the language of the heart.

19. Women need a safe space.
A place where they can be themselves — without fear or judgment.
If women start competing or boasting, the space becomes toxic.
True leaders never compare or overpower — they cooperate.
A real women’s community is not a contest of egos; it’s a circle of mutual love and purpose.
Safety builds trust, and trust leads to growth.

20. Women are the power of love — the power of flow.
True female leadership is service to a shared mission.
When the goal is high, personal ambitions fade.
A real leader doesn’t control — she guides.
She leads through understanding, not pressure; with warmth, not cold authority.
This light is born from teamwork, trust, and shared purpose.
A woman’s organisation is not a hierarchy — it’s a circle of light.
When gratitude, love, and respect fill that circle — miracles happen.

After 20 years, I know for sure:
You can’t lead a women’s community through only management rules.
It’s a living alchemy — where wisdom replaces power, attention replaces control, and love replaces fear. When light burns in the centre, every woman begins to shine.
But that light must be sustained — a leader must be an atomic reactor of love, radiating strength even through fatigue, pressure, and endless tasks.
People see the sparkle of events, not the weight of leadership behind them.
So, when you see a woman leading, support her.
Because she’s carrying not just her dream, but the evolution of all women.
Someday, the world will truly understand the value of this sacred work.

Nobel Prize in Economics 2025: Joel Mokyr, Philippe Aghion and Peter Howitt named laureates

Innovation as the Engine of Prosperity: Why the 2025 Economics Nobel Matters Now

By Prof. Andrii Azarov, International Business Academy Consortium (IBAC)

The Royal Swedish Academy of Sciences has awarded the 2025 Prize in Economic Sciences in Memory of Alfred Nobel to Joel Mokyr, Philippe Aghion and Peter Howitt “for explaining innovation-driven economic growth”. The monetary award is SEK 11 million: half goes to Mokyr; Aghion and Howitt share the other half equally. The decision was announced in Stockholm on 13 October 2025.

Why these three

The laureates connect the deep mechanics of long-run prosperity to technological change and creative destruction—the competitive process through which new products, firms and ideas displace obsolete ones. Their contributions explain:

  • How sustained growth became possible after centuries of near-stagnation (Mokyr).
  • Which institutional settings amplify or suppress these forces—from open science and engineering competence to competition policy and social insurance.
  • How innovation drives productivity at the firm level yet aggregates to a stable growth path (Aghion–Howitt).

Joel Mokyr: the preconditions of sustained growth

Joel Mokyr (Northwestern University) demonstrated that long-run growth rests on a cumulative stock of useful knowledge and the mechanical competence to apply it. He distinguishes between propositional knowledge (understanding how nature works) and prescriptive knowledge (know-how in production). When institutions lower the cost of accessing and exchanging both—learned societies, journals, standards, apprenticeships—and when society tolerates the disruption of new methods, the feedback loop between science and practice accelerates. That is how the world moved from episodic bursts of progress to an era of continuous improvement.

Philippe Aghion & Peter Howitt: growth through creative destruction

Philippe Aghion (Collège de France/INSEAD/LSE) and Peter Howitt (Brown University) formalised a growth paradigm in which innovations replace incumbent technologies. In their framework, entrepreneurs invest in R&D to “escape competition”; successful innovators earn temporary rents; laggards exit or adapt; resources reallocate to higher-productivity uses. Crucially, the model reconciles micro-level turbulence (entry, exit, job reallocation) with macro-level stability (a sustained growth trend), and it illuminates why competition and innovation are linked in a nuanced, often inverted-U relationship: too little rivalry dulls effort; cut-throat rivalry kills returns to R&D.

Why it matters now

With rapid advances in AI, an expensive green transition, and renewed geopolitical fragmentation, the Committee’s choice underscores a simple truth: innovation mechanisms must be deliberately nurtured. Economies that weaken competition, restrict knowledge flows, or entrench incumbents risk a slide into low-productivity equilibria.

Three implications follow:

  1. Make markets contestable. Competition policy and open trade enlarge the payoff to invention and diffusion; protectionism shrinks it.
  2. Cushion the transition, don’t block it. Social insurance, reskilling and labour mobility are complements to innovation—not substitutes—because creative destruction is beneficial system-wide yet locally painful.
  3. Back knowledge infrastructure. Stable funding of basic research, interoperable standards, and open scientific exchange reduce the cost of recombining ideas.

Quick bios

  • Joel Mokyr (b. 1946, Leiden): economic historian whose work shows how the accumulation and diffusion of useful knowledge—paired with engineering practice and tolerant institutions—ignite sustained growth; Professor at Northwestern University.
  • Peter Howitt (b. 1946, Canada): co-author of the Aghion–Howitt model; Professor Emeritus, Brown University; pioneer of the micro-to-macro link in innovation-led growth.
  • Philippe Aghion (b. 1956, Paris): leading scholar of growth, competition and industrial policy; architect of modern Schumpeterian growth theory; Collège de France / INSEAD / LSE.

Five ideas at the core of the prize

  1. Innovation drives growth. Capital deepening explains little without a continual flow of new ideas.
  2. Scale magnifies incentives. Larger, open markets increase the expected returns to R&D; fragmentation erodes them.
  3. Institutions are decisive. Law, education, research infrastructure and a culture that values “useful knowledge” determine whether societies adopt new technology.
  4. Creative destruction is productive—and disruptive. Policy should mitigate private losses (through safety nets and mobility) without muting competition.
  5. Policy is calibration, not dirigisme. Enforce contestable markets; fund foundational science; use targeted, time-bounded incentives (e.g., for green and digital technologies).

What makes the Economics Prize distinctive

Strictly speaking, this award is not among Alfred Nobel’s original prizes. It was established by Sveriges Riksbank in 1968 for the bank’s 300th anniversary and is conferred under the same rules and ceremonies. The first laureates were Ragnar Frisch and Jan Tinbergen in 1969.

Implications for policy and business

For governments

  • Competition & openness: Maintain contestability in product, capital and data markets; avoid creeping protectionism.
  • Smart, not sprawling subsidies: Prioritise enabling platforms (testing facilities, compute for AI research, grid flexibility) over firm-specific bailouts.
  • R&D architecture: Fund basic research; support translational institutes that bridge labs and factories; simplify IP where diffusion is essential.
  • Skills & mobility: Scale apprenticeships and mid-career reskilling in engineering-rich domains; remove barriers to worker and firm entry.

For corporates

  • Invest in discovery & deployment. Balance incremental improvements with a portfolio of bets on general-purpose technologies.
  • Build with openness. University partnerships, shared testbeds and interoperable standards reduce the cost and time to scale.
  • Design for rivalry. Organise internal “neck-and-neck” competition on measurable productivity outcomes, not vanity metrics.

For society

  • Fair transitions. Creative destruction creates aggregate gains but local shocks; robust safety nets and portable benefits are complements to innovation.
  • Trust in science. Predictable rules for research integrity and data governance sustain the social licence for technological change.

At a glance

  • Prize fund: SEK 11 million (Mokyr 1/2; Aghion 1/4; Howitt 1/4) - about 1 million euros. 
  • Award ceremony: 10 December, anniversary of Alfred Nobel’s death.
  • Announcement: 13 October 2025, Stockholm.
