Publisher's summary

What can organizational leaders in business, education, government, and most any enterprise learn from an unemployed, unmarried woman who lived in patriarchal, misogynistic rural England more than 200 years ago? As it turns out, a great deal. In identifying the core virtues of Austen’s heroines - confidence, pragmatism, diligence, integrity, playfulness, and humility - Andrea Kayne uncovers the six principles of internally referenced leadership that, taken together, instruct women how to tap into a deep well-spring of personal agency and an internal locus of control no matter what is going on around them.

Utilizing practical exercises, real-life case studies, and literary and leadership scholarship, Kicking Ass in a Corset maps out effective leadership that teaches readers how to tune out the external noise and listen to themselves, so that they can truly live and lead from the inside out.

Great interpretation of classic lessons

If you enjoy finding hidden meaning in the pages of a book, you’ll love the exploration Andrea Kayne performs in the pages of Austen. I appreciated the operational exercises at the end of each chapter. Quick, and thought provoking. This book is great of you want to own your greatness, while adhering to growth mindset, necessary for the development of internally referenced leaders.
