Who or what has influenced you as a leader?
I usually do not ascribe to the thought process that we need to have outside inspiration. As women we must find our own inspiration from our deepest core. However, I suppose the women who have broken through glass ceilings in various professional domains have always made an impression upon me. From Margaret Thatcher to Virginia Satir are women who could serve as one's inspiration.
What? book would you recommend to a young woman beginning her leadership journey??
Goddess in Every Woman? by Jean Shinoda Bolen. The traditional rules for female versus male leadership are changing. Leadership literature is moving towards authentic leadership. When women want to lead from an authentic viewpoint they need to repair in her wounds and be true to themselves. This is the first step in real leadership.
In your opinion, what are three? barriers or challenges women in leadership are still facing today?
- Societal pressure to be perfect. - Inability to say no in professional activities at the right moment. - Unnecessary competition with male counterparts or other females. All of the above are traps. When you get trapped in insignificant stories, you cannot focus on your own life's journey.
What is your "why"?
Advance humanity and rectify immoral leadership.
