I Go Around The Room And Ask

People Assume Wall Street Is A Certain Culture And Tech Is A Certain Culture. But If You Look At The (gender) Numbers At The Top Of (those) Industries, They Don't Vary Very Much. I Think In Finance, Women Hold 19 Percent Of The Top Jobs, And Women Are 21 Percent Of The Leaders In Nonprofits.

Presenting Leadership As A List Of Carefully Defined Qualities (like Strategic, Analytical, And Performance-ori Ented) No Longer Holds. Instead, True Leadership Stems From Individuality That Is Honestly And Sometimes Imperfectly Expressed.... Leaders Should Strive For Authenticity Over Perfection.

Women Systematically Underestimate Their Own Abilities.

I Know From My Own Experience That The Path To Change Is Best Traveled When We Travel Together.

And In Situations Where A Man And A Woman Each Receive Negative Feedback, The Woman's Self-confidence And Self-esteem Drop To A Much Greater Degree. The Internalization Of Failure And The Insecurity It Breeds Hurt Future Performance, So This Pattern Has Serious Long-term Consequences.
