Young and Profiting with Hala Taha
Business:Entrepreneurship
In the ‘80s, Sally Helgesen worked in corporate communications, writing speeches for leaders at reputable companies. Although she thought these companies were wonderful, she felt frustrated that they didn't understand what women could offer as leaders. The big ideas she heard other women discuss at work led her to believe it was time to let go of old-fashioned leadership styles. So, she started talking to successful women leaders and wrote a bestselling book called The Female Advantage. In this episode, Sally offers advice on creating more inclusive workplaces and shares valuable insights for both male and female leaders.
Sally Helgesen is a speaker, coach, bestselling author, and leading expert on women's leadership. She has written or co-written eight books, including her latest, Rising Together. Sally is ranked number three among the world’s thought leaders by Global Gurus and has been inducted into the Thinkers 50 Hall of Fame.
In this episode, Hala and Sally will discuss:
- The once radical strengths of female leaders
- Commonalities between male and female leaders
- The need to build connections for success in leadership
- Practical advice for leaders looking to create a more inclusive workplace
- Toxic habits leaders must avoid
- The danger of overvaluing expertise
- The difference between diversity and inclusion
- Rewriting negative scripts to stop acting like a victim
- How triggers can hinder inclusive behaviors
- The value of all four kinds of power in the workplace
- And other topics…
Sally Helgesen has been writing about female leadership since 1990 when she published The Female Advantage, hailed as “the classic work” on women's leadership styles. She has authored or co-authored several other books, including How Women Rise and her latest, Rising Together. Sally delivers leadership programs, workshops, and seminars for corporations, universities, and nonprofits worldwide. She has worked with global brands like Chevron, Microsoft, and The World Bank Group, among others, to cultivate inclusive cultures.
