She's Meant to Lead: Discover 14 Leadership Styles and Techniques to Create an Empowering Work Environment

by Kyrabe Stories, Kyndall Bennett

Despite the progress we have made, women are still faced with discrimination and bias in the workplace every day. The only way to prove our capabilities is to be a great leader!According to the Harvard Business Review, women were rated as more effective leaders than men. Furthermore, out of the 19 leadership competencies, women rated significantly higher in 13 areas.

This isn’t just in leadership roles that are considered traditionally female. The same difference was seen across different functions including IT, research & development, and manufacturing.

So why is it that only 26% of CEOs and managing directors are female?

And the bigger question is, why is it that women earn over $40,000 less per year than men who have earned the same qualification?

There is no doubt that women have more challenges when it comes to leadership roles. These challenges are hard to overcome, but it’s gender bias that causes the biggest problems.

Women are either seen as dainty, proper ladies who are too quiet to lead or as the other extreme – bossy, aggressive, and unladylike.

Consequently, while women have the qualifications and skills required for a leadership role, it’s still the men who are more likely to be offered opportunities.

Now, we can talk for days about the glass ceiling and how unfair the gender gap is, without really achieving anything... Or we can do something about it.

A Little Cliche, Not Everything Tied to Female Leadership

Audiobook Review:
As a female, I love the idea of having more female leaders, so when I saw this book on a review site, I thought I'd check it out. I found myself underwhelmed. The book was not organized as well as it should be; the chapters did not have a logical flow. Not every topic discussed was tied back to the idea of female leadership. Topics included leadership styles (very generic), emotional intelligence, and hard and soft business skills. Some of what was discussed felt too cliche. I also wished that the author discussed not only women who are in leadership positions but women who want to be but struggle against the glass ceiling. I don't think that was touched upon at all, yet it is so important when thinking about women in leadership. I think I enjoyed the quotes from female leaders scattered throughout the book the most. There are some great ones from Madeleine Albright, Melinda Gates, Sonia Sotomayor, and Senator Elizabeth Warren. My favorite quote was, “If you’re not at the table, you’re on the menu.” I wasn't wild about the narrator for this audiobook. She mispronounced several words, like saying “steed” instead of “stead” and not saying the word “orator” correctly. I doubt this was the narrator's fault, as it was probably the author's, but every time the word should have been “qualitative,” the non-word “qualitive” was said instead. It was used a lot, so it really got on my nerves. This is a super important topic, but there are certainly better books out there about it.

I received a promo code for this audiobook, but that did not affect my review.

This book could inspire young girls who dream of becoming true leaders and need to realize all the potential that they have. We still live in a world in which there are, unfortunately, gender gaps, and sometimes women need to work to get to the position they deserve. The author did a brilliant job sharing stories about important female leaders through history and the challenges they faced, advice on how to overcome fear and self-doubt, the essential skills that leaders needor even how to set the right example in a role of leadership.

The book provides examples of female leaders and their success, as well as the types of leadership such as The Coach and The Pacesetter. Not all of the leadership types are good, and this helps show what's ideal for the reader. Though, The Transformational Leader is recommended. The book also provides advice on how to improve self-esteem and understanding effective communication as a female leader.


I received a free copy of this book via Booksprout and am voluntarily leaving a review.
