Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Famous Leaders Among Women Phillips brooks said in an address before the Phillips Exeter Academy in 1893, Since the noblest life on earth is always human life, the literature which deals with human life must always be the noblest liter ature. And since the individual human life must always have a distinctness and interest which cannot belong to any of the groups of human lives, biography must always have a charm which no other kind of history can rival. I believe fully that the intrinsic life of any human being is so interesting, that if it can be simply and sympathetically put in words, it will be legitimately interesting to other men. I trust that the lives here sketched may be found interesting. Madame de Maintenon, with neither beauty nor youth, but with great intellectual power, was able to win and keep the love of a fickle king.

Download or read book Women Leaders at Work written by Elizabeth Ghaffari and published by Apress. This book was released on 2012-01-15 with total page 347 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "Women Leaders at Work traces the personal life decisions taken by women who found ways to achieve greatness in their work. Each story is intriguing. But, collectively, the stories provide inspiration. They illustrate how real women of varied talents from varied backgrounds traversed quite different paths, seized opportunities presented in many guises, and found ways to achieve and to contribute to society. Elizabeth Ghaffari relates these stories with an unerring instinct to reveal the fascinating, personal dimensions of real women." Anita K. Jones, University Professor Emerita, University of Virginia "Women Leaders at Work shines a light on women. Today's leaders who are women, who are changing our world, even as examples, inspire young women who are our leaders of the future. Great book!" Frances Hesselbein, President & CEO,Leader to Leader Institute, New York, NY "The stories of each of these amazing women read like novels -- humble beginnings, triumphs, failures, incredible determination and resourcefulness, overcoming the familiar obstacles facing women in the workplace. But these stories are true, and they inspire us. There are many more stories out there, but thanks to Elizabeth Ghaffari, we are privileged to share these few. Groundbreaking women, groundbreaking book." Judith M. Runstad, Attorney, FOSTER PEPPER PLLC,Seattle, WA "I have read many books on leadership and women leaders, and Elizabeth Ghaffari’s book rises to the top for me. The in-depth interviews provide insight into leadership in general, issues unique to women, as well as an insider’s view into a broad array of industries. Women Leaders at Work highlights superb women leaders, beyond the "usual suspects," many of whom you may never have otherwise come to know." Cathy Sandeen, Ph.D., MBA, Dean, UCLA Extension, University of California, Los Angeles "In her newest book, Elizabeth Ghaffari has scouted out exceptional women who started in small, but courageous ways to follow unique visions. These women achieved positions of influence and power, but their routes to success were never straight-lined. They endured digressions and embraced change. They navigated the intricacies of corporations, academia, non-profits, and the fields of science and technology. They speak with their own voices about their lives and motivation and tell their stories with modesty and encouragement to other women who may want to lead and serve." Mary S. Metz, Ph.D., President Emerita, Mills College "Women Leaders at Work is filled from cover-to-cover with stories about the lives of extraordinary women who are in leadership today. Elizabeth Ghaffari uses her exceptional interviewing talents to ask the right questions to elicit memorable lessons that are inspiring, uplifting and educational. Each of the eighteen chapters focuses on the life and career path of a fascinating, accomplished woman. Ghaffari illustrates that breakthrough success can occur in a myriad of fields from medicine, law, academia, government, public corporations, science and philanthropy. It is not necessary to stay on a narrow hierarchical career path. In fact, none of these champions followed career paths that were straight-line trajectories. 'We often have to be re-potted to grow' and 'Don’t leave the power of a corporation just because you want to change the world. Harness it,' are two of the many memorable lessons. Women Leaders at Work is filled with important wisdom and advice for past, present and future leaders. I highly recommend this book for men and women of all ages and interests!" Susan Murphy, Ph.D, noted author, speaker, business consultant, www.Consult4Business.com "Ghaffari's Women Leaders at Work captures diverse personal stories of trailblazing women who share candid experiences including career challenges. It is clear that much more than mentoring matters -- sponsorship is key." Linda Griego, President & CEO, Griego Enterprises, Inc. In Women Leaders at Work, skilled interviewer Elizabeth Ghaffari speaks to women at or near the top of their professions in a wide array of fields. In part, the book focuses on how they did it: how they prepared, how they overcame obstacles, how they achieved major milestones, and how they took the unconventional turn in the career path that made all the difference. Each chapter is also a gem that contains invaluable insights into gaining and using power responsibly. Every interview shows how female leaders make a difference on a day-to-day basis: charting strategy, managing senior managers and key partners, allocating resources, influencing stakeholders and the public, handling internal problems and competitive challenges, launching initiatives, or pouncing on opportunities the rest of us can’t see. This book, like the others in the bestselling Apress At Work series, provides readers with a range of examples and experiences they can use to achieve their own goals. It details key actions or decisions that will help women reach the C-level, win public office, or achieve professional recognition and status.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Women have made their mark on history in a variety of ways. However, the list of well-known women leaders is rather shorter than a similar list of men leaders. Some of these female leaders, like Queen Elizabeth I and Queen Elizabeth II, are familiar to many people. Their stories are in this book. Also herein are the stories of many lesser-known female leaders, whose stories as just as compelling as those famous queens'. It's not just countries, either. In this book you will find stories of women leaders of movements. Most people can probably Rosa Parks as a leader of the civil rights movement in America. But do most people know the accomplishments of Fannie Lou Hamer? They should. Her tireless advocacy was instrumental in the passage of tthe Voting Rights Act of 1965; she inspired many other women and many men to continue the struggle for equality. In the same vein were the leaders of the women's suffrage movement, not only in America but also in other countries. American women gained the right to vote in national elections only 1920. Most women in Britain had it a couple of years before that. But can you name the country that was the first in the world to grant women the vote? Think a tiny South Pacific nation that isn't Australia (but is relatively close by). Susan B. Anthony and Elizabeth Cady Stanton are familiar names in American history, and they certainly were instrumental in advancing the right to vote for American women, but it was Kate Sheppard in that tiny faraway South Pacific nation who almost singlehandedly delivered suffrage in her country. As well, women are and have been leaders of companies and organizations. The number of women running Fortune 500 and other famous companies is rising. Learn more about some of these boardroom executives. In this book: - Stories of triumph over adversity. - Stories of incredible achievements to which women made vital contributions. - Stories of success in many walks of life. This book is for anyone who wants to learn more about women leaders, past and present. This is a great gift for any teen or adult!
