and Leadership:

these differences, identifies the ways in which such responses
affect women’s leadership, and proposes some solutions
to smooth the way for women leaders.

anticipate, and address employee resistance at every stage
of the process.
Leadership
& Confidence
Many Women Are Competent, but Lack Confidence
