The Sustainable Advantage - Women in Leadership

Sally Helgesen

Sally Helgesen was the first writer to focus on what women have to contribute to organizations rather than how they need to change and adapt. Her bestselling book, The Female Advantage, widely hailed as 'the classic work" on women's leadership styles, is used in companies, training seminars, and college classes around the world. She speaks before, coaches, and consults with organizations interested in attracting, retaining, and developing terrific women. In our continuing Leadership Series focusing on Enlightened Power - How Women are Transforming the Practice of Leadership, Sally reveals the inspiration behind her essay contribution to the book.
