The Collective Wisdom of High-Performing Women
This important new book for Canadian business women looks at the 10 key characteristics of today’s winning leaders. These characteristics – like compassion, honesty, and authenticity – were once seen as feminine weaknesses in business. But today, they define the leader who strengthens organizations rather than undermines them.
This book comes from the voices of experience, some 70 women who have participated in The Judy Project, a leadership program run by the Rotman School of Management that has trained 400 women for future leadership positions. These women tell compelling, first-person stories about ambition, courage, and the hard choices they’ve made to manage personal and professional lives in the real world of business. It’s sage advice for young women about how they can move up in organizations while remaining true to themselves and to their families.
