The Remarkable discoveries about what drives and sustains successful
women leaders.
Based on five years of proprietary research, How Remarkable Women Lead
speaks to you as no other book has, with its hopeful outlook and unique
ideas about success. It's the new right stuff of leadership, raising
provocative issues such as whether feminine leadership traits (for women
and men) are better suited for our fast-changing, hyper-competitive, and
increasingly complex world.
The authors, McKinsey & Company consultants Joanna Barsh and Susie
Cranston, establish the links between joy, happiness, and distinctive
performance with the groundbreaking model of Centered Leadership.
The book's personal stories and related insights show you the magic that
happens when you put the five elements of Centered Leadership-meaning,
framing, connecting, engaging, and energizing-to work. They include:
- How Alondra de la Parra built on her strengths and passions to infuse
her life with meaning and make her way in the male-dominated world of
orchestra conducting
- How Andrea Jung, the CEO of Avon, avoided a downward spiral when the
company turned down by firing herself on Friday and re-emerging on
Monday as the new turnaround CEO
- How Ruth Porat's sponsors at Morgan Stanley not only helped her grow
but were also her ballast for coping with difficult personal and
professional times
-How Eileen Naughton recovered after losing her dream job, landing on
her feet at Google and open to a new leadership opportunity - How Julie Coates of Woolworth's Australia makes energy key to her
professional success, with reserves for her second shift as wife and
mother
How Remarkable Women Lead is both profoundly moving and actionable.
Woman or man, you'll find yourself in its pages and emerge with a
practical plan for breaking through at both work and in life. *
