What Women Know about Leadership
September 23, 2016
To be heard, you must speak the language of the one you want to listen.
-Robin Wall Kimmerer, Author and Botanist

"(Women) bring to leadership a more complete range of qualities modern leaders need, including self-awareness, emotional attachment, humility and authenticity," opined Tony Schwartz in his Harvard Business Review article, "What Women Know About Leadership That Men Don't."

"The vast majority of CEOs and senior executives I've met during the past decade are men [who]...resist introspection, feel more comfortable measuring outcomes than they do managing emotions, and underappreciate the powerful connection between how people feel and how they perform."

In a survey by Jack Zenger and Joseph Folkman in which 7,300 leaders were rated by their peers and direct reports, "Women scored higher in 12 of 16 key skills – not just developing others, building relationships, collaborating, and practicing self-development, but also taking initiative, driving for results, solving problems, and analyzing issues."
