Women still struggle to be identified as potential leaders and are often penalized when they attempt to position themselves for future leadership roles. When women do succeed in obtaining an executive position, it is all too often because they have managed to do what is expected of them as women. That is, women’s leadership success seems to rest on the ability to leverage traditionally feminine traits while not being permitted to exhibit too many traditionally masculine traits. This may explain why we have yet to see the rise of a female leader who has the confidence and stubbornness of a Mark Zuckerberg or an ego to match that of Elon Musk.
This book is based on my years of experience working in business and as a consultant and on more than 200 hours of interviews with other women leaders across sectors. The first chapter offers a brief status update on the current state of leadership opportunities for women across sectors. Subsequent chapters investigate specific obstacles for women seeking leadership positions and explore why so many popular solutions not only fail but also in some cases deepen the leadership gap for women. This book also explores practical solutions to help women level up in the workplace.
