/a "The world as we know it is changing. Solving climate change, war, poverty, pandemics, migration, addressing threats to freedom, human rights and democracy requires a new type of leadership. One focused on protecting and promoting the common good, on sustainability, fairness, equity. A leadership capable of long-term thinking and immediate and effective action, to catalyze short- and long-term change. Of holding together and managing complexity -- using both rationality and empathy. Of leading in a bold yet kind way, showing the example and bringing people together around common values, visions and actions - halting the increasing polarization we are witnessing in our communities and countries. We have indeed reached a stage where we can no longer avoid questioning the "old way" of doing things and defining a new and better way is more urgent than ever. And this starts with leadership, which in turn defines our societies and companies, our purpose and direction. Are women leaders the answer to this? Starting from this question, the book delves into the personal and professional stories of 10 inspiring women, leading the way in our contemporary world across countries and sectors. It brings the reader on a reflection journey on what leadership is, how it is developed, how it needs to change to face todays and tomorrow's global challenges, and what the role of women is in this fundamental cultural shift. All while inspiring women and men, girls and boys to become themselves catalysts for change, defining a new path to leadership and to fixing our broken world -- men and women together. Throughout the various chapters, key trends and traits of women leadership, experience and vision for the future will emerge, creating a fil-rouge across the personal stories of featured leaders and shaping the vision and actions needed to define a new model of and vision for leadership."-- /c Provided by publisher
