This is a book of stories: tales of women who have 'made it'; ordinary women with extraordinary careers. You would not have known it from their histories for some even looked as though they were being groomed for failure. All of them are moving and inspiring As I collected these tales, some of my old ideas about developing both men and women at work began to shift. In the past we have not been looking for relevantly outstanding qualities when choosing our leaders, and because of this we have not been spotting and developing potential talent in the best possible way. This book tells the story and looks at some of the most striking resemblances that these women seemed to share in common. It changed my life and my thinking around my own organisation and the work it does. It is a book for developers of people and recruitment professionals. It is a book for parents rearing the leaders of tomorrow. It is a book to make you think This is a book for men and women with ambition for success and happiness. The two are not exclusive.
