Gender studies: women; Careers guidance; Management: leadership & motivation

In today's world, women continue to be undervalued and overlooked as potential leaders. Many women don't even think of themselves as future leaders, despite their significant contributions at work and home. What obstacles relegate women to underdog status in the working world, and how can these obstacles be overcome?

In a quest for answers, this powerful book delves deep into the stories of remarkable women who share a common struggle against external and internal barriers to leadership advancement. Women frequently find themselves ensnared in antiquated narratives and constricting beliefs, along with a lack of mentorship and limited flexibility and support.

McAfee and Paetow offer the tools and guidance for women to see themselves through a different lens and uncover their true selves, talents, passions, and leadership potential. They examine eight attributes of fearless leadership, blending the masculine and feminine leadership styles, that are essential for success and wholeness.

Gender equality in leadership is not just a moral imperative; it's a pragmatic necessity. The business world stands to gain immeasurably from increased female representation in leadership roles. By peeling back the layers of self-doubt and societal constraints, this book offers a roadmap for women to rise above the chains of convention and find the fearless leader within.

Fearless Female Leaders: Stories and Strategies to Empower More Women to Lead, by McAfee and Paetow, is the first release in the Fearless Leader Books(TM) series.
