WOMEN LEAD THE WAY<br />
Your Guide to Stepping Up to Leadership and Changing<br />
the World<br />
Linda Tarr-Whelan<br />
The story of how and why women's full participation in leadership<br />
matters is still seemingly a well-kept secret.To have the future we<br />
all want, women must play a more robust role in setting priorities and<br />
allocating resources. "Women Lead the Way" presents argument,<br />
research, and tactical guidance to help readers wedge the door open<br />
and bring more women through and up.The evidence from around the<br />
world validates the findings of the United Nations General Assembly<br />
in 1995, which set a baseline of at least 30 per cent women at the<br />
table as a prerequisite for genuine partnership and lasting, positive<br />
change in the international arena.We see the same phenomena in the<br />
business world. More women as corporate officers and members of<br />
boards of directors results in stronger financial performance. At 30 per<br />
cent representation, we see concrete, positive outcomes for everyone<br />
not just women including increased shareholder value, more flexible<br />
management approaches, a broader definition of success, and better<br />
bottom lines. More women at the table means more progress for all of<br />
us.This book helps readers get started on a win-win women-led<br />
strategy to bring about the leadership balance we all need.<br />
