"Women Lead the Way" presents argument, research, and tactical guidance to help readers wedge the door open and bring more women through and up.The evidence from around the world validates the findings of the United Nations General Assembly in 1995, which set a baseline of at least 30 per cent women at the table as a prerequisite for genuine partnership and lasting, positive change in the international arena.We see the same phenomena in the business world. More women as corporate officers and members of boards of directors results in stronger financial performance. At 30 per cent representation, we see concrete, positive outcomes for everyone not just women including increased shareholder value, more flexible management approaches, a broader definition of success, and better bottom lines. More women at the table means more progress for all of us.This book helps readers get started on a win-win women-led strategy to bring about the leadership balance we all need. Linda Tarr-Whelan is a premier expert on women's leadership in this country and internationally and a distinguished fellow of the well-known national thinktank, DEMOS.
