Women Lead—Career Perspectives from Workplace Leaders

The Apollo Research Institute interviewed 200 female leaders across many sectors, from education and healthcare to finance and technology. This book for general readers, students, and professionals draws on the interviews to present women's perspectives on career paths, the changing status of women in the workplace, opportunities for women in various fields, and work-life balance. The book includes a chapter devoted to self-employed women, small business owners, and entrepreneurs. It also presents the results of the Institute's study on leadership, which was based on a survey of 3,000 male and female managers from three generations describing the skills and attributes most important for 21st-century leadership. The book is written in a conversational style and includes an attractive two-color layout with frequent headings, charts, advice boxes, and bullets.
