Descriere & specificații

Despite the progress we have made, women are still faced with discrimination and bias in the workplace every day. The only way to prove our capabilities is to be a great leader! n According to the Harvard Business Review, women were rated as more effective leaders than men. Furthermore, out of the 19 leadership competencies, women rated significantly higher in 13 areas. n This isn't just in leadership roles that are considered traditionally female. The same difference was seen across different functions including IT, research & development, and manufacturing. n So why is it that only 26% of CEOs and managing directors are female? n And the bigger question is, why is it that women earn over $40,000 less per year than men who have earned the same qualification? n There is no doubt that women have more challenges when it comes to leadership roles. These challenges are hard to overcome, but it's gender bias that causes the biggest problems. n Women are either seen as dainty, proper ladies who are too quiet to lead or as the other extreme - bossy, aggressive, and unladylike. n Consequently, while women have the qualifications and skills required for a leadership role, it's still the men who are more likely to be offered opportunities. n Now, we can talk for days about the glass ceiling and how unfair the gender gap is, without really achieving anything... Or we can do something about it. n This book will give you the tools and skills you need to excel as a leader and show others h
