Do you have what it takes to be a woman leader in the 21st Century?
In the 20th century, women worked extra hard to make it in a ‘man’s world’. Now the world is recognizing that women are actually better suited to lead in the new economic realities. Strengths such as intuition, emotional intelligence, creativity, team work and big picture thinking are exactly what the highly competitive, highly changeable market place requires.
