This book was released on 2023-02-08 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Did you know that women only currently make up around 25% of the C-Suite? And they lead less than 10% of Fortune 500 companies? Hard to believe right? But things are slowly starting to change and people are starting to realize that women can bring qualities to the table that men simply can't. In the past, men have been given so many more opportunities to progress. And women have had to watch opportunities pass them by, stuck in the same management role for years on end. This has been a real confidence breaker for many women, something you may resonate with. It is women like you that can take your organization to the next level. You just need the skills to become a greater leader and most importantly, to believe in yourself. Remember, you have earned every right to be there! Don't let those opportunities pass you by any longer. Many people believe that leadership is about titles, status and power over people. But it is the opposite of this. Leaders are people who walk alongside their team and hold themselves accountable for recognizing the potential in people and developing that to the fullest. They inspire and influence, motivate and empathize. Many also think that you are born to lead, however, this is not true. Whilst there are people who are born with natural abilities that align to great leadership, many of these traits can be learned. So even if you feel like imposter syndrome is getting in the way of you growing a team or you find it hard to speak up in meetings, this book will teach you how to kick that imposter syndrome to the curb and train yourself to speak confidently in meetings. You'll also learn the importance of emotional intelligence in successful leadership and why developing a high performing team is so important. In 'She's the boss, ' you'll learn: - The traits that make a great leader; - Traits that give women an advantage over men; - The secrets of successful female leaders; - The differences between management and leadership; - About the different leadership styles and how to utilize yours within your team; - How to overcome the stumbling blocks for female leaders; - How to develop a high performing team; - How to manage your time effectively; - How to overcome imposter syndrome; - Tips on leading in a post-covid world

Download or read book Multipliers written by Liz Wiseman and published by Harper Collins. This book was released on 2010-06-15 with total page 358 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Are you a genius or a genius maker? We've all had experience with two dramatically different types of leaders. The first type drain intelligence, energy, and capability from the ones around them and always need to be the smartest ones in the room. These are the idea killers, the energy sappers, the diminishers of talent and commitment. On the other side of the spectrum are leaders who use their intelligence to amplify the smarts and capabilities of the people around them. When these leaders walk into a room, lightbulbs go off over people's heads, ideas flow, and problems get solved. These are the leaders who inspire employees to stretch themselves to deliver results that surpass expectations. These are the Multipliers. And the world needs more of them, especially now, when leaders are expected to do more with less. In this engaging and highly practical book, leadership expert Liz Wiseman and management consultant Greg McKeown explore these two leadership styles, persuasively showing how Multipliers can have a resoundingly positive and profitable effect on organizations—getting more done with fewer resources, developing and attracting talent, and cultivating new ideas and energy to drive organizational change and innovation. In analyzing data from more than 150 leaders, Wiseman and McKeown have identified five disciplines that distinguish Multipliers from Diminishers. These five disciplines are not based on innate talent; indeed, they are skills and practices that everyone can learn to use—even lifelong and recalcitrant Diminishers. Lively, real-world case studies and practical tips and techniques bring to life each of these principles, showing you how to become a Multiplier too, whether you are a new or an experienced manager. Just imagine what you could accomplish if you could harness all the energy and intelligence around you. Multipliers will show you how.

Download or read book Belonging written by Sue Unerman and published by Bloomsbury Publishing. This book was released on 2020-10-29 with total page 289 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "The most important business book of the year" - Esquire There's never been more discussion around diversity and inclusion in the workplace. From gender pay gaps and the #MeToo movement to Black Lives Matter, it seems that every organization has finally recognised that lasting change needs to happen. Various studies show that the most successful and productive senior management teams are those which are truly diverse and eclectic. Yet there remains only 8 female CEOs of FTSE 100 boards, and only 10 BAME people working in leadership roles across companies in the FTSE 100. While there has been a clear shift in attitudes, actual progress towards more inclusive workspaces has been excruciatingly slow and, in some cases, has ground to a halt. Following extensive research and interviews at over 200 international businesses, Kathryn Jacob, Sue Unerman and Mark Edwards have discovered one major problem that is holding back the move towards greater diversity: why aren't the men getting involved? Most men are not engaged with D&I initiatives in the workplace – at one extreme they may be feeling actively hostile and threatened by the changing cultural landscape. But others may be unmotivated to change – recognising the abstract benefits of diversity but not realising what's in it for them. The time for change is long past. Belonging is the call to action we need today -the tool to turn the men in power into allies as we battle discrimination, harassment, pay gaps, and structural racism and patriarchy at every level of the workplace. The lessons in this book will help us work together to build a better workplace where everyone feels they belong.
