Session: The Secrets to being a Great Woman Leader of a Diverse Company
When we think of leadership, we often picture those in positions of authority--CEOs, founders, directors, etc. And while those at the top certainly have an obligation to lead, it is not their responsibility alone; it's everyones.
The phrase "you can only lead if people will follow you" is a misnomer. Today, leaders must foster the inclusiveness, individuality, independence, and courage of people who want to walk beside a leader and help to lead not from behind, but beside and with.
Women Leaders are uniquely qualified to do this well - IF they can get out of their own way. When it comes to the choice of being liked OR respected, a good leader knows that they can choose BOTH or Respect alone.
What other traits are the secrets to being a great woman leader? Can't wait to share with you!
