Becoming Women Who Count
|
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.
Women make up about half of the
country's population and half its work-force, yet account for only a
small percentage of the leadership roles in government, business and
beyond. Butler brings her experiences and insights directly to readers
by showing how they can collectively use their strengths to improve the
world. Together, women must envision equality, build teams, take action,
and help one another through mentoring, philanthropy, education and
public service, according to Butler.
Author Susan Bulkeley Butler was the first female partner of a major consulting firm and is the founder of the Susan Bulkeley Butler Institute for the Development of Women Leaders. In Women Count: A Guide to Changing the World, author Susan 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. 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."Susan's website is http://www.sbbinstitute.org

The New "Right Stuff" of Leadership
|
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 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.
Joanna Barsh serves as a leader of both the Consumer Packaged Goods and Organization Practices for McKinsey & Company, a global management consulting firm.
Joanna’s client experience spans mergers and acquisitions, corporate growth strategy, organization development and performance transformation. Joanna is passionate about many things, but accelerating the development of women leaders is at the top of the list. She has been a New York City Commissioner on Women’s Issues since 2002, appointed by Mayor Michael Bloomberg.
