Lead
Look out. That chipped and spattered glass ceiling is about to fall. With our affinity for consensus-seeking and relationship-building, women are putting a refreshingly feminine face on leadership. Be ready to take the lead in your organization or profession by staying abreast of leadership trends and brushing up on skills vital to hiring, delegating, training, diversity, gender equity, business ethics, and more. There’s nothing more powerful than inspirational leadership.

We live daily with the unsettling possibility of conflict. We enter into conflicts reluctantly, cautiously, angrily, nervously, confidently—and emerge from them battered, exhausted, sad, satisfied, triumphant.

Here’s an example that illustrates the importance of identifying doable, effective responses to unfair situations. Kathleen, a vice president at a company I was researching for my book Tempered Radicals was a trusted adviser of the newly appointed CEO. She was attending a company-wide meeting that began with a film of the company's history. The film contained several clips of the past CEO and his wife. After the film, the CEO took the podium and began his remarks with some comments about his predecessor and his wife, including a humorous reference to the wife's "great legs."

You’re taking a trip overseas to present a business plan to your company’s prospective international partners. It’s a difficult presentation but you’re confident all the details have been worked out. You’ve rehearsed a million times, once before the CEO (and you handled her questions quite nicely, thank you).
