About
Women are lifting the limits on what they can achieve and are learning to create their own identity as leaders. For them, leadership no longer just comes in a box or on a course. It is happening in life. They are finding the authenticity, the confidence, the resilience and the courage to become the leaders they want to be and to exercise power on more genuinely equal terms.
In this book, Hilarie Owen combines lessons and insights from 30 high-achieving women with techniques and tools from the world’s foremost thinkers on leadership. In nine steps, she opens up a path that all women can take to realize their potential as leaders.
This is a book I will buy for myself, for my daughter, for my leadership team and for anyone who ever says to me 'I’m not a leader', because I believe that we are all leaders – sometimes we just don’t recognize ourselves as such.
