Publisher's summary

It’s time to stop second-guessing yourself and start building the qualities that will make you an authentic, amazing leader. In the past century, women have scaled new heights in the workplace.

From working as clerks and secretaries in the 1950s, women today are now holding top positions in the world’s largest corporations.

Yet women remain vastly underrepresented in leadership roles, making up only 5 percent of Fortune 500 CEOs and 10 percent of top management positions in S&P 1500 companies, despite accounting for 47 percent of the labor workforce.

The reason for this has nothing to do with intelligence, skills, or personality.

Biases, gender expectations, and discrimination are definitely major contributing factors holding women back from executive roles, but sometimes, it’s the women who hold themselves back because of self-doubt and lack of confidence.

You might be one of these women—wanting to achieve more and reach the top of your career, but your insecurities are getting in the way.

But you don’t have to let fears and self-doubt keep you from your ambitions.

If you want to be a leader, you can be one, regardless of your gender, social status, educational background, or current position.

You can have a family and be a leader. You can be single and be a leader. You can have any religious, political, or sexual preference and still excel at being the driving force of a team.

What it takes is essential preparation, which will give you the confidence to go for your goals and become the leader you’re meant to be.

In this ultimate guide to leadership for women, here is just a fraction of what you will discover:

• How the self-efficacy theory will help you develop the 11 steps to confidence
• A handy checklist to ensure you have the necessary leadership qualities before day one of your new role
• Self-assessments to evaluate your current communication skills, identify areas of weakness, and determine your leadership traits
• Fifteen steps to start communicating like a leader and how you can practice before you become one
• How being an introvert could boost your leadership skills—this is not a disadvantage!
• The weaknesses that leaders can’t afford to have and how to overcome them
• How to create a workplace culture where the well-being of your team is a priority and how this will set you apart as a leader
• Ten outstanding leaders in history that will inspire you to create your own authentic leadership style

And much more.

If you can’t take those first steps to leadership because self-doubt is eating away at you, you’re about to see how you can use everyday situations to practice these skills before going for the next rung on your career ladder!

Leadership lessons for a variety of situations!

One of the many things I appreciate about this book is that it addresses that we, as women, need to be aware of when we are promoting gender bias against each other since it is so deeply ingrained in our society. The chapters go over lessons for active listening, acknowledging feedback without the gender bias, and much more. A bonus for me was that there was also a section for introverts and how we can use our social preferences to still grow as a leader.

Empowering book for women

If you are interested in top management positions and if you care about your career - this is a must-have book for you.
This guide will help you to develop confidence, communication skills, and improve workplace culture. The most I loved the part about the advantages of introvert leaders and how they can improve their leadership skills.

Perfect for the strong women in my life

The timing for this book could not have been better. My daughter is just entering the job market, and I wanted to preview this book before I gave it to her. I am so glad that I did.

The author takes a proactive rather than provocative stance about things that are within the control of women in the workplace. She cites numerous examples of fearless women like Susan Wojcicki, the CEO of YouTube, and how her relentless focus on results through self-confidence shatters glass ceilings.

A dear friend of mine at work who is a very successful female executive recently recounted an anecdote of how several other women in the office had been gossiping about her sleeping her way to the top. I know that that kind of gossip happens, but it was still shocking to hear nonetheless because she is so skilled at her job. The author tackles this topic too.

The book is a terrific resource for any woman who has been the subject of pernicious lies or a woman who wants a fair shot in the workplace.

This is an essential book for my daughter, my wife, and any other woman who seeks to level the playing field that has been out of balance for too long. I highly recommend it.
