In Conceived to Lead, women accept the challenge to break through the glass ceiling mindset. It was the contentious USA election year of 2016 that prompted compiler Carla Wynn Hall to consider the vital need for women leaders to speak out and join forth in a massive wave of change. Each of the women authors in this book-successful in her own field-has written a chapter that expresses her leadership philosophy and expands on the role of women as leaders. Sharing her story for some has meant opening healing wounds to expose personal tragedy and triumph. Others expand knowledge and promote understanding of the leadership process as practiced by and relating to women. Still others focus on passing the torch of leadership through tips and experiences.
This book is for every person who dares to make an impact; who desires to understand how women leaders cast off the chains of expectation and, on a global scale, lead their followers into a better future.
