Summary:
"A groundbreaking, deeply reported work from CNBC's Julia Boorstin that reveals the key commonalities and characteristics that help top female leaders thrive as
they
innovate, grow businesses, and navigate crises--an essential resource for anyone in the workplace. Julia Boorstin was thirteen
when
her mother told her that, by the time she grew up,
women
could be just as powerful as men, 'captains of industry, running the biggest companies!' A decade later, working at a top business publication and seeing the dearth of
women
in positions of leadership, Boorstin assumed her mom had been wrong. But over the following two decades as a TV reporter and creator of CNBC's Disruptor 50 franchise, interviewing, and studying thousands of executives, she realized that a gender-equity utopia shouldn’t be a pipe dream. Yes,
women
faced massive social and institutional headwinds, and struggled with double standards and
what
psychologists call 'pattern matching.' Yet those who thrived, Boorstin found, shared key commonalities that made
them
uniquely equipped to
lead
, grow businesses, and navigate crises.
They
were highly adaptive to change, deeply empathetic in their management style, and much more likely to integrate diverse points of view into their business strategies, filling voids that their male counterparts had overlooked for generations. By utilizing those strengths,
they
had invented new business models, disrupted industries, and made massive profits along the way. Now, in '
When
Women
Lead
,' Boorstin brings together the stories of over sixty of those female CEOs and leaders, and dozens of new studies. Her combination of narrative and research reveals
how
once-underestimated characteristics, from vulnerability and gratitude to divergent thinking,
can
be vital superpowers -- and that anyone
can
work these approaches to their advantage. Featuring new interviews with Katrina Lake, Gwyneth Paltrow, Jenn Hyman, Whitney Wolfe Herd, Lena Waithe, Shivani Siroya, Julia Collins, and more, '
When
Women
Lead
' is a radical blueprint for the future of business, and our world at large."--From publisher.
