A number of years ago James MacGregor Burns wrote about our ."false conception about leadership as mere command or control. As leadership becomes more properly to be seen as a process of leaders engaging and mobilizing the human needs and aspirations of followers, women will be more readily recognized as leaders and men will change their own leadership styles.” I look forward to talking about how to get women to their rightful place as leaders, and in doing so free men to be their best selves as well.

I am currently working on some new thinking that I will turn into first a blog post and then likely into another white paper in the near future on what I see being the Decade of the Woman Leader. I am especially interested in exploring the potential business culture and business results implications of the continued rise around the world of women into their rightful leadership places (still recognzing of course the myriad continued obstacles and the need for new and transformational practices). And one of these implications is the changing dynamic between women and men in the workplace. If you have any thoughts along these lines you would be willing to share I would love to have a dialogue with you.
