The Remarkable discoveries about what drives and sustains successful women leaders.

Based on five years of proprietary research, How Remarkable Women Lead speaks to you as no other book has, with its hopeful outlook and unique ideas about success. It's the new "right stuff" of leadership, raising provocative issues such as whether feminine leadership traits (for women and men) are better suited for our fast-changing, hyper-competitive, and increasingly complex world.

The authors, McKinsey & Company consultants Joanna Barsh and Susie Cranston, establish the links between joy, happiness, and distinctive performance with the groundbreaking model of Centered Leadership.

The book's personal stories and related insights show you the magic that happens when you put the five elements of Centered Leadership–meaning, framing, connecting, engaging, and energizing–to work. They include:

• How Alondra de la Parra built on her strengths and passions to infuse her life with meaning and make her way in the male-dominated world of orchestra conducting
• How Andrea Jung, the CEO of Avon, avoided a downward spiral when the company turned down by "firing herself" on Friday and re-emerging on Monday as the "new" turnaround CEO
• How Ruth Porat's sponsors at Morgan Stanley not only helped her grow but were also her ballast for coping with difficult personal and professional times
•How Eileen Naughton recovered after losing her dream job, landing on her feet at Google and open to a new leadership opportunity
• How Julie Coates of Woolworth's Australia makes energy key to her professional success, with reserves for her "second shift" as wife and mother

How Remarkable Women Lead is both profoundly moving and actionable. Woman or man, you'll find yourself in its pages and emerge with a practical plan for breaking through at both work and in life.

Simply Remarkable !

October 25, 2012

Format: Kindle EditionVerified Purchase

This excellent book describes the concept of "Centered Leadership" and breaks it further down into Meaning, Framing, Connecting, Engaging, and Energizing. The description of concepts alternates with specific stories and experiences of top women leaders, for example IMF director Christine Lagarde. This way the story keeps moving very nicely and one finds it difficult to put the book down. My own career journey has so far taken me to a director level of a Fortune 100 company including people leadership. This book helped me to discover that certain traits,my personality and background have helped me be successful. I did not necessarily realize that before reading this book and would not have imagined that these ingredients would be helpful to other women in their career. For example, an optimistic mindset and the consistent habit of treating oneself well by getting enough sleep, exercise and vacation time are part of my behavior pattern, but it was fascinating to understand that they can actually be ingredients of a successful career. Having a meaningful job or role that one has a passion for is obviously great, that we can actually get energized on the job was something I have experienced but never really put in words for myself. Other essentials, like networking became enjoyable and natural only in recent years. I should have made it part of my regular behavior much,much earlier in my career. Bottom LIne, I hope many young aspiring professional women will read this book to gain an understanding of Centered Leadership. It will save them time and instead of slowly climbing the career ladder, testing each step carefully, they will be able to fly.

One of my favorite books read so far on leadership development

One of my favorite books read so far on leadership development, would highly encourage others (women and men) to read as they're looking to make a change in their life or if they're feeling unsatisfied in their current role and are unsure of how to find a path forward.

Read this book!

Format: Kindle EditionVerified Purchase

Great book! Every women working outside the home should read this. This book tells you the psychology behind why women do certain things and why we look at things differently from men at work.
Only criticism I would have is that it doesn't really go into a lot of detail on how you accomplish some of the advice.
The examples of what goes on at work really hit home with me. I will keep this book close by so I can refer to it from time to time when I need to re - direct in my work.

Good book. Very motivating to hear that many of these woman had to fail and pick themselves back up to build the reputation and career they have today! Good tips would have loved to see some more insight on how to build some of these skills in networking and finding a mentor.

Good Women's Leadership Read

Format: PaperbackVerified Purchase

This is a good first listen as I venture into leadership books geared towards women. There are many stories shared here to offer advice on key leadership qualities. Some of these stories resonated with me more than others.

I purchased this book as a gift for a speaker at a meeting for an organization that I run. She is a business leader in out community and talked about leadership, so this book seemed fitting. She seemed very pleased and impressed with the choice! I would definitely give it as a gift again and plan to buy it to read myself!

This book is great!

It's hard not to give Joanna Barsh 5 stars up. She's just a terrific leadership expert and her book is spot on.

Best for emerging young professionals

Disappointed in the book. A lot of advice for young women. I was hoping it would be more appropriate for older women.

Reading this book will not make you a remarkable leader, just like reading a diet book will not make you thin.

I first learned of this book when I saw it prominently displayed on the bookshelf of the most unremarkable "leader" I have ever had the displeasure of working with.Read more
