Recommendation

When the Aspen Ideas Festival brought 18 female leaders together to speak about the crux of leadership, a common thread emerged: Leadership comes from the heart. Each speaker presents her motivation, purpose and leadership lesson in a short, inspirational address. getAbstract recommends their collection of poignant personal stories to all aspiring and veteran leaders – men and women alike – interested in leading others toward a higher purpose.

Take-Aways

  • True leaders are dedicated to “stay the course no matter how difficult the path.” And if no one has previously traveled the path you tread, leave your mark for others to follow.
  • Female leaders frequently confront dissent. Identify when to ignore the naysayers while supporting other women, who may not find it easy to discount such opposition.
  • Women with established careers ought to impart their wisdom on work-life balance to their younger colleagues. For many working mothers, nannies provide that balance.

About the Speakers

Pamela Reeves, a gender adviser to the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation, hosts 17 other female leaders from a diversity of fields including business, academia and politics.

    #30Daysof Summaries I totally agree that female leaders lead with their heart. And that alone makes them very different from male leaders. And I strongly believe it you juggle around, you get help, and its okay to get help. you can make it work for you.
