Throughout history women have been viewed as a weaker vessel: she should be seen, not heard, and her vast knowledge and power have been held at bay, a prisoner of sorts, by her male counterpart with complete disregard of her strengths.
It is time for a shift in paradigms, a shift in how we approach and understand leadership. In todays fast-paced, multicultural, multifaceted society, the demand for strong blended leadership is essential. Being able to recognize and facilitate the strengths and abilities of a woman is key in defining the future growth, stability, and power of leadership teams.
Dont let the fear of change keep you from tapping into the potential of the future. Whether you are a small business or a major corporation, a non-profit, or a religious organization, the future has never before been so full of promise. The potential for major growth has never been greater.
Women in Leadership parallels the Biblical story of Boaz, Ruth and Naomi a story of discovery and opportunity.
Join author Joy Graetz as she helps you discover and facilitate the strengths and abilities that women bring to the leadership arena.
It is time for both men and women to unite, in their pursuit of destiny, with an attitude of support and value, never underestimating one another on their personal journeys to significance.
