Download or read book Women Leaders at Work written by Elizabeth Ghaffari and published by Apress. This book was released on 2011-12-21 with total page 358 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. By tapping the wisdom and astute advice of contemporary women in leadership, Women Leaders at Work provides an up-to-date guide for ambitious women seeking professional success.

Download or read book Women of Influence written by Hayley Paige International and published by . This book was released on 2021-09-27 with total page 220 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: On a global scale, women are changing the trajectory of their lives as they make the decision to step into their power and leave their mark on the world. No longer are they striving for success in only one or two areas of their lives; they are choosing to have it all-without external expectation or restrictions. These women have travelled difficult paths that have tested their resolve in achieving their goals (specifically in the field of entrepreneurship), but not once have these obstacles proven to distract from their vision. They've each very consciously decided to become the very best versions of themselves, and whilst on their journey, they've transformed into Women of Influence. "Women of Influence" presents 12 women, all of whom tell their individual stories as they travel towards their own definition of success. Although unique, they all recognise in one another the determination and strength needed to leave an impact on the world, while changing the preconception of what it means to be a woman adopting a multitude of roles in a fast-paced world-and the perceived limitations. Encouraging ladies across the world to stay focused on their vision as they build their dreams and businesses, "Women of influence" emphasises the power we have in moving out of our past and into our future with the aim of shaping the world through focused impact, business improvement and positive change.

Download or read book Women Count written by Susan Bulkeley Butler and published by Purdue University Press. This book was released on 2011-01-07 with total page 145 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Throughout history, women have struggled to change the workplace, change government, change society. So what’s next? It’s time for women to change the world! Whether on the job, in politics, or in their community, there has never been a better time for women to make a difference in the world, contends author, mentor, and corporate pioneer Susan Bulkeley Butler in Women Count: A Guide to Changing the World. Through her experience as the first female partner of a major consulting firm and founder of the Susan Bulkeley Butler Institute for the Development of Women Leaders, Butler’s unique insights have changed the lives of countless women. In Women Count, she shows readers how to change the world through a series of inspiring case studies that chronicle how she and other pioneering women in a range of fields have done so in years past. Women represent half of the country’s population, half of the country’s college graduates, and around 50 percent of the country’s workforce. Butler envisions a day when they will also make up their fair share of elected and appointed positions, including in corporate boardrooms. Amid financial meltdowns, wars, and societal struggles, never before has the world so greatly needed the unique abilities of women to lead the way. But as history has shown, to make change, women must step into their power and become “women who count,” Butler contends. Then and only then, she argues, can women truly change the world.

This book explores the journeys of remarkable women who have not only transformed their respective industries but have also paved the way for future generations of female entrepreneurs. These trailblazers have shattered glass ceilings, defied societal expectations, and driven substantial change through their unwavering determination and exceptional leadership. Overview The significance of female entrepreneurs in today's business landscape cannot be overstated. Women are increasingly taking on leadership roles, founding groundbreaking companies, and driving economic growth. Despite facing numerous challenges, these women have demonstrated extraordinary tenacity and creativity, making indelible marks on their industries. Breaking Barriers aims to shine a light on their stories, celebrating their achievements and extracting valuable lessons from their experiences. Historical Context The journey of women in business has been marked by persistent efforts to overcome deeply entrenched barriers. Historically, women were often relegated to supportive roles, with limited opportunities for leadership. However, the latter half of the 20th century saw a significant shift as women began to assert their presence in the business world, driven by changing social norms, legal reforms, and a growing emphasis on gender equality. The featured leaders in this book represent the pinnacle of this evolution, demonstrating that with determination and vision, women can excel in any domain. Purpose of the Book The primary goal of Breaking Barriers is to highlight the stories, achievements, and lessons from some of America's top female entrepreneurs. By delving into their biographies and examining their accomplishments, this book aims to provide inspiration and guidance for aspiring female leaders. Each chapter is dedicated to a different entrepreneur, offering a comprehensive look at their journey, the obstacles they overcame, and the unique contributions they have made to their industries. Structure of the Book This book is structured into twenty chapters, each focusing on a different female leader. The chapters are designed to provide a holistic view of each leader's background, career milestones, industry impact, and the lessons they impart. The final chapter, The Legacy of Female Business Leaders, serves as a conclusion, summarizing key lessons, identifying common themes, and offering a future outlook on the evolving role of women in business and entrepreneurship. Breaking Barriers is not just a collection of biographies; it is a celebration of the spirit, resilience, and ingenuity of women who have defied expectations and reshaped industries. As you read through the chapters, you will not only learn about the incredible journeys of these leaders but also gain insights into the qualities and strategies that have driven their success. This book is a testament to the power of female leadership and an inspiration for the next generation of women who aspire to make their mark in the world of business. By learning from the experiences and lessons of these trailblazers, we can continue to advance the cause of gender equality and create a more inclusive and equitable future for all.

Download or read book Own It written by Sallie Krawcheck and published by Crown Currency. This book was released on 2017-01-17 with total page 258 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A Wall Street Journal and Washington Post Bestseller, Own It is a new kind of career playbook for a new era of feminism, offering women a new set of rules for professional success: one that plays to their strengths and builds on the power they already have. Weren’t women supposed to have “arrived”? Perhaps with the nation’s first female President, equal pay on the horizon, true diversity in the workplace to come thereafter? Or, at least the end of “fat-shaming” and “locker room talk”? Well, we aren’t quite there yet. But does that mean that progress for women in business has come to a screeching halt? It’s true that the old rules didn’t get us as far as we hoped. But we can go the distance, and we can close the gaps that still exist. We just need a new way. In fact, there are many reasons to be optimistic about the future, says former Wall Street powerhouse-turned-entrepreneur Sallie Krawcheck. That’s because the business world is changing fast –driven largely by technology - and it’s changing in ways that give us more power and opportunities than ever…and even more than we yet realize. Success for professional women will no longer be about trying to compete at the men’s version of the game, she says. And it will no longer be about contorting ourselves to men’s expectations of how powerful people behave. Instead, it’s about embracing and investing in our innate strengths as women - and bringing them proudly and unapologetically, to work. When we do, she says, we gain the power to advance in our careers in more natural ways. We gain the power to initiate courageous conversations in the workplace. We gain the power to forge non-traditional career paths; to leave companies that don’t respect our worth, and instead, go start our own. And we gain the power to invest our economic muscle in making our lives, and the world, better. Here Krawcheck draws on her experiences at the highest levels of business, both as one of the few women at the top rungs of the biggest boy’s club in the world, and as an entrepreneur, to show women how to seize this seismic shift in power to take their careers to the next level. This change is real, and it’s coming fast. It’s time to own it.

Download or read book Women and Leadership written by Julia Gillard and published by MIT Press. This book was released on 2022-02-15 with total page 337 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A powerful call-to-action for gender equity that offers 10 key lessons for women aspiring to a leadership role—be it in politics, business, law, or their local community. Featuring words of wisdom from female leaders like Hillary Clinton and Theresa May, this empowering study reads like a You Are a Badass volume on world leadership. Women make up fewer than 10% of national leaders worldwide. Behind this eye-opening statistic lies a pattern of unequal access to power. Through conversations with some of the world’s most powerful and interesting women—including Jacinda Ardern, Hillary Rodham Clinton, Christine Lagarde, Michelle Bachelet, and Theresa May—Women and Leadership explores gender bias and asks why there aren’t more women in leadership roles. Speaking honestly and freely, these women talk about having their ideas stolen by male colleagues, what it’s like to be called fat or a slut in the media, and what things they wish they had done differently. The stories they tell reveal vividly how gender and sexism affect perceptions of women as leaders. Using current research as a starting point, Julia Gillard and Ngozi Okonjo-Iweala—both political leaders in their own countries—analyze the lived experiences of these women leaders. The result is a rare insight into life as a leader and a powerful call to arms for women everywhere.

As a previous corporate strategist and current founder and CEO of my own company, I live by the words "knowledge is power." This book provides just that. Jenn does a beautiful job of providing transparency and clarity with the necessary how-to's for navigating the waters ahead." -- Maria Malavenda, Founder, EVVEMI "As an angel investor, I've focused on women-led companies because they have been historically underfunded yet have delivered abovemarket returns.

Download or read book Women Lead the Way written by Linda Tarr-Whelan and published by Berrett-Koehler Publishers. This book was released on 2009-10-12 with total page 299 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Offers practical steps for women to bring their passion, brains, and background to the power tables and make life better for themselves, their company or organization and global society. • Combines compelling research, international experience, and fascinating personal stories with solid advice • Tarr-Whelan has extensive background as a business woman, a government official, a non-profit leader, and a nurse A few “first women” are making key decisions in high places but a few is not enough to have a significant impact. Changing what gets decided takes changing who makes the decisions. But with just 17% of Congressional seats and 14% of Fortune 500 board seats held by women, the leaders defining priorities and solutions continue to look and act much the same as generations ago. Linda Tarr-Whelan marshals eye-opening facts and figures to decisively dispel the myths that still hold women back and shows women how to build their confidence and skills to pioneer a distinctive approach to leadership, one that emphasizes collaboration, communication and consensus. The proven tipping point, surprisingly, is just 30%--when women’s representation at the top reaches 30%, real change starts to happen. Drawing on her extraordinarily diverse background as a consultant, organizer, and diplomat, Tarr-Whelan offers a women-led strategy for change and a complete set of practical road-tested tools readers can use to become powerful partners in creating a better future in a rapidly changing world. Closing the leadership gap is a win for everyone—it brings in new ideas, creates a more balanced and productive work environment, a revitalized social compact and demonstrable positive effects on the bottom line in business and government. Women Lead the Way artfully combines advocacy, research, and tactical guidance to help readers wedge the door open and bring more women through and up.

Download or read book Women Owned Businesses written by Oliver Hagan and published by Praeger. This book was released on 1989-07-17 with total page 252 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Most books on women entrepreneurs are either popular accounts of successful business women who started their own firms, or how-to books on the process of starting a business written for the woman reader. This current study brings together scholars with extensive experience in the entrepreneurship literature who also work with women starting new business ventures. The contributors here follow the entrepreneurial process--from concept development, through expansion, growth, and transitions to an established business. Among the topics covered are: networking among women entrepreneurs, business growth, financing, the role of the trustees, and changing the direction of a business's operations. A valuable appendix lists sources of advisory and financial assistance to the woman entrepreneur. The topics covered are the issues that any business faces, but the authors bring into perspective the woman entrepreneur and some of the unique problems she faces as the owner and operator of her business. The book begins with a description of the paths that lead women in the workplace to businesses of their own. This includes a summary of current research on women entrepreneurs as well as studies of the problems related to balancing family and business, developing the business plan, and managing the business now and in the future. This is followed by a focus on the creative process and how it relates to developing a viable business concept. The contributors examine the issues surrounding the financing of entrepreneurially-driven companies owned and operated by women. They further discuss the methods by which women in business can expand their management capabilities; the practical use of a working board of directors, and the importance of networking. Finally, the book explores the succession process in relation to entrepreneurs, their organizations, and successors. A closing summary looks at those issues yet to be resolved but likely to affect women-owned businesses in the future.

Download or read book The Awakened Company written by Catherine R. Bell and published by Namaste Publishing. This book was released on 2022-12-06 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: There is another way of doing business. The Awakened Company comes at a time of crisis in the business world, as evidenced by current world-wide financial instability, which was a cry for help from a bipolar boom-bust business model that's failing. From a mentality of profits first and growth at all cost, those in the know in the business world are coming to the realization this approach is no longer sustainable. The book's premise is that work isn't separate from life, and the metrics for success in business need to change at a fundamental level if the world is to transcend its present crises, which increasingly threaten us all. There is another way of doing business, and a shift in our behavior could in very short order fuel innovation, open up undreamed of markets, and by so doing bring prosperity to the entire planet. The Awakened Company adopts the premise that the world's greatest challenges will be solved by people working together in new ways. It is different from other business books in the sense that it blends proven business practices with insight from the wisdom traditions and leaders in business thought in a way that hasn't been done before. An awakened approach calls for a fundamental reset to today's economy, a shift to where businesses will be measured by their state of awareness, not profitability alone. "In a world of economic uncertainty, The Awakened Company gives a roadmap to a new way of doing business -- a way that is humane, fosters innovation, and meets the needs of All stakeholders, including Mother Earth." - Tony Robbins, New York Times #1 Best-Selling Author, Entrepreneur, Philanthopist "This is a must-read for those of us in the organization world"-- David Daniels, M.D., Professor Emeritus, Stanford University
