Showing results for "a-remarkable-woman" in Management & Leadership

This book doesn’t care about your job title. (It doesn’t really care if you call yourself a leader.) It does care that we move on from talking about grit, resilience, gravitas, confidence, and commerciality as if that’s the way we create the world we’re longing for. It cares that we stop walking ourselves into burnout or choosing to die in a ditch over things that don’t matter much at all. It cares that we stop treating work as a daily battle. It deeply cares that we learn how to apply more heart and wisdom to what we do.

Pursuing an extraordinary career is one of the best things you will ever do for yourself. It will bring you joy, friends, wisdom, treasures, stories, travels—and for author Pattie Dale Tye, a spouse. It will give you freedom and superpowers (to be used for good, not evil). You’ll be able to change lives—not just your own but legions of others. It will make you cry, wince, shout, curse, and miss vacations or family events. But in the end, it will be one of the best parts of your precious life.

There is no mistaking that inequality in the workplace is still prevalent in the form of salary inequity and unequal representation in leadership and board positions. Too often conversations about inequality can lead to men and women believing they are alike. Women and men are not the same, biologically or psychologically, and these differences lead to significant dissimilarities in how each approaches leadership situations.
