On the cover: Women and leadership 35
Women start careers in business and other professions with the same
level of intelligence, education, and commitment as men. Yet comparatively
few reach the top echelons.
This gap matters not only because the familiar glass ceiling is unfair, but also
because the world has an increasingly urgent need for more leaders. All
men and women with the brains, the desire, and the perseverance to lead
should be encouraged to fulfill their potential and leave their mark.
With all this in mind, the McKinsey Leadership Project—an initiative to
help professional women at McKinsey and elsewhere—set out four years ago
to learn what drives and sustains successful female leaders. We wanted to
help younger women navigate the paths to leadership and, at the same time,
to learn how organizations could get the best out of this talented group.
To that end, we have interviewed more than 85 women around the world
(and a few good men) who are successful in diverse fields. Some lead 10,000
people or more, others 5 or even fewer. While the specifics of their lives
vary, each one shares the goal of making a difference in the wider world. All
were willing to discuss their personal experiences and to provide
Centered leadership:
How talented women thrive
A new approach to leadership can help women become more self-confident
and effective business leaders.

and Rebecca A. Craske

insights into what it takes to stay the leadership course. We have also studied
the academic literature; consulted experts in leadership, psychology,
organizational behavior, and biology; and sifted through the experiences of
hundreds of colleagues at McKinsey.
From the interviews and other research, we have distilled a leadership
model comprising five broad and interrelated dimensions (exhibit): meaning,
or finding your strengths and putting them to work in the service of an
inspiring purpose; managing energy, or knowing where your energy comes
from, where it goes, and what you can do to manage it; positive framing, or
adopting a more constructive way to view your world, expand your horizons,
and gain the resilience to move ahead even when bad things happen;
connecting, or identifying who can help you grow, building stronger relation-
ships, and increasing your sense of belonging; and engaging, or finding
your voice, becoming self-reliant and confident by accepting opportunities
and the inherent risks they bring, and collaborating with others.
We call this model centered leadership. As the name implies, it’s about having
a well of physical, intellectual, emotional, and spiritual strength that
drives personal achievement and, in turn, inspires others to follow. What’s
particularly exciting is that we are starting to discover ways women can
actively build the skills to become more self-confident and effective leaders.
Centered.
This document discusses research into what drives successful female leaders. It summarizes a leadership model called "centered leadership" that was developed based on interviews with over 85 female leaders worldwide. The model comprises five dimensions: meaning (finding your strengths and purpose), managing energy (identifying what energizes and depletes you), positive framing (adopting an optimistic view), connecting (building relationships and a sense of belonging), and engaging (finding your voice and accepting opportunities). The document provides examples and research findings to illustrate each dimension and argues that centered leadership helps women build skills to become more self-confident leaders.
This document discusses becoming a fierce leader. It begins by outlining the importance of leadership and discussing different leadership styles such as authentic leadership, level 5 leadership, and fierce leadership. It then defines coaching as a process that supports personal growth and decision making. Using a coaching approach involves adopting a mindset of believing in others, being curious, and earning trust, as well as developing listening and feedback skills. Finally, it discusses fierce conversations as a way to have more open and meaningful discussions and outlines traits of fierce leadership such as surrounding yourself with good people and paying attention to your emotional impact.

Women face unique challenges in leadership roles due to negative stereotypes. They are often described with labels like "bossy" or "emotional" that are not typically used for male leaders. Additionally, women leaders feel pressure to emulate stereotypically male leadership traits. However, successful women leaders remain authentic to their own styles and emphasize traits like collaboration, empowerment, and building relationships. Transformational leadership, which motivates and inspires followers, has been shown to be an effective approach for women.

The Leadership Challenge Notes
“Leadership is a relationship between leaders and followers. A more complete picture of leadership develops when you understand what people look for in someone they would willingly follow” (Kouzes and Posner 2017, p. xiii).
PART 1. WHAT LEADERS DO AND WHAT CONSTITUENTS EXPECT
Chapter 1. The Five Practices of Exemplary Leadership.
Using the stories of two people who each took advantage of an opportunity to lead their organization to excellence, the authors introduce their leadership model, The Five Practices of Exemplary Leadership.
The Five Practices
Ordinary people who guide others along pioneering journeys follow similar paths, marked by common patterns of action. When getting extraordinary things done in organizations, leaders engage in Five Practices that are available to anyone who accepts the leadership challenge:
Model the Way
Inspire a Shared Vision
Challenge the Practice
Enable Others to Act
Encourage the Heart
This model has stood the test of time—research confirms that it’s just as relevant now as when Kouzes and Posner first began their investigation.
Leadership is a Relationship
Leadership is a relationship between those who aspire to lead and those who choose to follow. Success in leadership, business and life is a function of how well people work and play together, and success in leading depends on the capacity to build and sustain the human relationships that enable people to extraordinary things done
Ten Commitments of Leadership
The behaviors that serve as the basis for learning to lead are embedded in The Five Practices:
Model the Way
Find your voice by clarifying your personal values
Set the example by aligning actions with shared values
Inspire a Shared Vision
Envision the future by imagining exciting and ennobling possibilities.
Enlist others in a common vision by appealing to shared aspirations.
Challenge the Process
Search for opportunities by seeking innovative ways to change, grow, and improve.
Experiment and take risks by constantly generating small wins and learning from mistakes.
Enable Others to Act
Foster collaboration by promoting cooperative goals and building trust.
Strengthen others by sharing power and discretion.
Encourage the Heart
Recognize contributions by showing appreciation for individual excellence.
Celebrate the values and victories by creating a spirit of community.
Chapter 2. Credibility is the Foundation of Leadership
The authors discuss the research into the four qualities that people believe are essential to exemplary leadership, on which all great leadership is built.
What People Look for and Admire in Their Leaders
Over a period of more than 20 years, the authors asked more than 75,000 people around the globe what values they most looked for and admired in a leader, someone “whose direction they would willingly follow.”
Only four out of 20 qualities have continuously receiv.
The document summarizes a leadership conference with several speakers. Welby Altidor discussed nurturing creativity in companies and building trust to foster creative courage. Vince Molinaro talked about leadership accountability and the behaviors of accountable leaders. Dr. Tasha Eurich covered the importance of self-awareness, particularly the seven pillars of internal self-awareness. Amanda Lang emphasized the need for an engaging culture that allows questions to foster innovation and change. Joe Biden concluded the event by stressing that leadership requires making tough decisions and owning the consequences.

This is a power point presentation I made at the RV College of Engineering to pre-final year students. The Program is meant students as leaders for the corporate world.
The document discusses the five levels of leadership. Level one is leadership from position, where people follow due to one's job title and authority. Level two is leadership by permission, where people follow due to respect and trust. Level three is leadership by production, where people follow due to what one has done for the organization. Level four is leadership by people development, where people follow due to what one has done for them personally and professionally. Level five is leadership by personhood, where people follow due to who one is and what one represents.

Styles of Leadership and Your Organization

Organizational Behavior (MGMT601)
17 December 2017
General John J. Pershing once said, “A competent leader can get efficient service from poor troops, while on the contrary an incapable leader can demoralize the best of troops.” As a leader, personal accountability is the standard. A quality many never seemed to care about. Those that have been led define a leaders true competency. If they fail, it is because the leader has failed them.
In the military, competency is usually in the eye of the beholder; commonly referred to as leadership. Their assessment comes in the form of an appraisals, non-commission officer evaluation reports or officer evaluations that amasses everything accomplished in one year. Generally, throughout that year feedback is giving. All too often that is not the case. More times than not, individuals are left to write their own evaluation. There is no more daunting a task than having to rate your ability as a leader. The last thing an individual wants to do is place his or herself so high that others despise them, yet not under sell their own ability to lead others.
This, coupled with organization goals, values and mission, has the potential for several pitfalls. A true leader sees and seizes this as an opportunity. A chance too not only sharpen and hone their own leadership style, but perhaps try their hand at various others. An organization, in its simplest definition, is a group of people with a particular purpose. The military is nothing more than a group of people with the simple purpose of neutralizing the enemy. A task that the U.S. government exiles at. This task can not be carried out to its fullest without someone at the helm leading.
It takes a skilled individual, with unique qualities and abilities to bring a group of people with various backgrounds from different walks of life together on accord. One type of leadership style may work for one, where as it may not work for another. Something to always consider; all the while keeping in line with the organizations mission statement, vision and goals.
There are organization that you will see how differently leaders will manage. Some leadership styles may be more aggressive, calm, and even nonchalant. There are several different forms of leadership styles that can help strengthen your organization or either weaken it. Some leaders are likely to use just one specific style to establish a solid foundation. However, to be a successful people will to understand their leadership style and how it can possibly impact on their organization.
The problem with some leaders is that they assume that leadership style is based off personality instead of using a strategy that will address that situation. The ideal is being able to identify your style and make any adjustments that will be most beneficial for the organization. There is a saying, “Leadership is not just some ...
This document summarizes key points from a book about leadership. It discusses 10 fundamental truths or principles of leadership that the authors have learned from over 30 years of research. The first truth is that you can make a difference through leadership by believing in yourself and your ability to positively impact others. The research found that leaders who practice the five exemplary leadership behaviors of modeling the way, inspiring a shared vision, challenging the process, enabling others to act, and encouraging the heart are seen as more effective leaders by those they lead. The second truth is that credibility is the foundation of leadership, as others must believe in the leader in order to willingly follow.
This document discusses adaptive leadership and how it differs from traditional management. It provides summaries of what traditional managers and leaders do, as well as why agile teams need leaders rather than managers. The core mindsets of adaptive leadership are described as embracing ambiguity, envisioning and evolving, enabling collaboration, and riding paradox. It also discusses how to transition from being a manager to a leader, including setting your vision, leading with trust, and serving others. Key behaviors that foster trust are recognized, including showing vulnerability.
The document discusses the concept of conscious leadership. Conscious leaders are purpose-driven, authentic, emotionally intelligent, and able to access their higher self. They have a vision that inspires others and serves a greater purpose. The conscious leadership model is based on insights from quantum theory and energetic practices. It involves five dimensions: leadership personas, relational presence, personal energetic awareness, organizational energetic awareness, and understanding phases of change. The goal is to provide training to help leaders develop consciousness and transform their organizations.

This document summarizes and discusses issues related to diversity and women in sales leadership positions. It discusses research showing that while women make up about 45% of new hires, they only account for 37% of senior management positions and 17% of C-suite positions. In sales leadership specifically, only 22% are women. It suggests some reasons for this, including lack of confidence, lack of visibility, and reluctance to negotiate on the part of women. It then provides advice and strategies for women to help overcome these barriers, including taking control of their personal brand, self-promotion, public speaking, networking, and negotiating confidently. The document is aimed at providing insights and guidance for women seeking to advance their careers in sales leadership.
This document discusses transformative leadership and its key characteristics. Transformative leadership aims to positively change followers and organizations by inspiring a shared vision, building trust, and encouraging the heart. Transformative leaders are characterized as honest, forward-looking, competent, and inspiring. They transform others by focusing on higher order needs and consistently demonstrating qualities like inspiring a shared vision, challenging processes, enabling others, modeling best practices, and encouraging the heart. Transformative leadership can significantly impact organizations and employees.
Women as Mentors Does She or Doesn’t She? A Global Study of Businesswomen and...Meghan Daily
In 2012, there were no more women in top leadership positions at Fortune 500 companies than in 2011.
There are a few who successfully make it to the top of their field, but it is a long, hard climb. Among them are familiar names like Meg Whitman, Oprah Winfrey, Indra Nooyi, and Hillary Rodham Clinton.
These are all very different women—from different backgrounds, with different education and careers spanning different industries. What they do have in common is the role that mentoring played in helping them along the way.
Recent surveys indicate that achieving employee engagement and meeting/exceeding customer expectations are at the top of business concerns identified by CEOs worldwide. This Leadership Brief Express (LBE) explores the leadership behaviors instrumental in creating a culture where employees are engaged and motivated to contribute. These behaviors transform the relationship between management and employees enabling alignment, involvement, open & two-way communication, collaborative problem-solving & learning, innovation and high-performance.

The document discusses leadership styles and developing a leadership philosophy. It explores different leadership styles like visionary, analytical, systematic, and collaborative. It encourages building a leadership philosophy founded on these styles and informed by works from various leadership experts. The document also discusses relational leadership, emphasizing that leadership depends on context and relationships. It provides an activity where participants examine different styles and consider team dynamics. The overall message is that developing one's own leadership philosophy grounded in their strengths and understanding of others is important for effective practice and guiding actions.
This document contains summaries of several articles on leadership. The first article discusses that no leader is perfect and the best leaders focus on their strengths and find others to make up for their limitations. It also outlines four steps in a leadership framework: sense making, relating, creating a vision, and inventing. The second article discusses how leaders can use difficult experiences or "crucibles" to reflect on their values and grow as leaders. The third discusses a study that found the most effective leaders have personal humility and professional will. It also notes that leadership can develop under the right circumstances.

Based on your course reading assignments and your pending research problem, what type of study do you believe you are conducting, and please explain why?
Extra materials:
Descriptive
research
is a study designed to depict the participants in an accurate way. More simply put, descriptive analysis is all about describing people who take part in the survey.
There are three ways a researcher can go about doing a descriptive research project, and they are:
Observational, defined as a method of viewing and recording the participants
Case study, defined as an in-depth study of an individual or group of individuals
Survey, defined as a brief interview or discussion with an individual about a specific topic
Mixed
methods
research
(Extracted from the article below) is the use of quantitative and qualitative methods in a single study or series of studies. It is a new methodology that is increasingly used by health researchers, especially within health services research. There is a growing literature on the theory, design, and critical appraisal of mixed methods research. However, few papers summarize this methodological approach for health practitioners who wish to conduct or critically engage with mixed methods studies.
Article: Using Mixed Methods in Health Research
Meta-Analysis
Meta
-
analysis
is a statistical technique for combining data from multiple studies on a particular topic. A Meta-analysis is an analytical tool for estimating the mean and variance of underlying population effects from a collection of empirical studies addressing ostensibly the same research question. Meta‐analysis has become an increasingly popular and valuable tool in psychological research, and significant review articles typically employ these methods.
Article: Meta-Analysis in Medical Research
Epidemiology
According to the Centers for Disease Control,
Epidemiology
is the method used to find the causes of health outcomes and diseases in populations. In epidemiology, the patient is the community and individuals are viewed collectively. By definition, epidemiology is the study (scientific, systematic, and data-driven) of the distribution (frequency, pattern) and determinants (causes, risk factors) of health-related states and events (not just diseases) in specified populations (neighborhood, school, city, state, country, global).
Article: Epidemiology is a Science of High Importance
Longitudinal Studies
Longitudinal Study, an epidemiologic study that follows a population forward over time, evaluating the effects of one or more variables on a process. If individuals are followed, it is termed a longitudinal cohort study. If classes—e.g., age classes—are studied, it is a longitudinal cross-sectional study. Longitudinal studies are the converse (opposite) of horizontal (parallel) studies.

Essay about Leadership in Early Childhood
This is a power point presentation I made at the RV College of Engineering to pre-final year students. The Program is meant students as leaders for the corporate world.
The document discusses the five levels of leadership. Level one is leadership from position, where people follow due to one's job title and authority. Level two is leadership by permission, where people follow due to respect and trust. Level three is leadership by production, where people follow due to what one has done for the organization. Level four is leadership by people development, where people follow due to what one has done for them personally and professionally. Level five is leadership by personhood, where people follow due to who one is and what one represents.

Styles of Leadership and Your Organization
Teneka Oliver
Organizational Behavior (MGMT601)
17 December 2017
General John J. Pershing once said, “A competent leader can get efficient service from poor troops, while on the contrary an incapable leader can demoralize the best of troops.” As a leader, personal accountability is the standard. A quality many never seemed to care about. Those that have been led define a leaders true competency. If they fail, it is because the leader has failed them.
In the military, competency is usually in the eye of the beholder; commonly referred to as leadership. Their assessment comes in the form of an appraisals, non-commission officer evaluation reports or officer evaluations that amasses everything accomplished in one year. Generally, throughout that year feedback is giving. All too often that is not the case. More times than not, individuals are left to write their own evaluation. There is no more daunting a task than having to rate your ability as a leader. The last thing an individual wants to do is place his or herself so high that others despise them, yet not under sell their own ability to lead others.
This, coupled with organization goals, values and mission, has the potential for several pitfalls. A true leader sees and seizes this as an opportunity. A chance too not only sharpen and hone their own leadership style, but perhaps try their hand at various others. An organization, in its simplest definition, is a group of people with a particular purpose. The military is nothing more than a group of people with the simple purpose of neutralizing the enemy. A task that the U.S. government exiles at. This task can not be carried out to its fullest without someone at the helm leading.
It takes a skilled individual, with unique qualities and abilities to bring a group of people with various backgrounds from different walks of life together on accord. One type of leadership style may work for one, where as it may not work for another. Something to always consider; all the while keeping in line with the organizations mission statement, vision and goals.
There are organization that you will see how differently leaders will manage. Some leadership styles may be more aggressive, calm, and even nonchalant. There are several different forms of leadership styles that can help strengthen your organization or either weaken it. Some leaders are likely to use just one specific style to establish a solid foundation. However, to be a successful people will to understand their leadership style and how it can possibly impact on their organization.
The problem with some leaders is that they assume that leadership style is based off personality instead of using a strategy that will address that situation. The ideal is being able to identify your style and make any adjustments that will be most beneficial for the organization. There is a saying, “Leadership is not just some ...
This document summarizes key points from a book about leadership. It discusses 10 fundamental truths or principles of leadership that the authors have learned from over 30 years of research. The first truth is that you can make a difference through leadership by believing in yourself and your ability to positively impact others. The research found that leaders who practice the five exemplary leadership behaviors of modeling the way, inspiring a shared vision, challenging the process, enabling others to act, and encouraging the heart are seen as more effective leaders by those they lead. The second truth is that credibility is the foundation of leadership, as others must believe in the leader in order to willingly follow.
This document discusses adaptive leadership and how it differs from traditional management. It provides summaries of what traditional managers and leaders do, as well as why agile teams need leaders rather than managers. The core mindsets of adaptive leadership are described as embracing ambiguity, envisioning and evolving, enabling collaboration, and riding paradox. It also discusses how to transition from being a manager to a leader, including setting your vision, leading with trust, and serving others. Key behaviors that foster trust are recognized, including showing vulnerability.
The document discusses the concept of conscious leadership. Conscious leaders are purpose-driven, authentic, emotionally intelligent, and able to access their higher self. They have a vision that inspires others and serves a greater purpose. The conscious leadership model is based on insights from quantum theory and energetic practices. It involves five dimensions: leadership personas, relational presence, personal energetic awareness, organizational energetic awareness, and understanding phases of change. The goal is to provide training to help leaders develop consciousness and transform their organizations.

This document summarizes and discusses issues related to diversity and women in sales leadership positions. It discusses research showing that while women make up about 45% of new hires, they only account for 37% of senior management positions and 17% of C-suite positions. In sales leadership specifically, only 22% are women. It suggests some reasons for this, including lack of confidence, lack of visibility, and reluctance to negotiate on the part of women. It then provides advice and strategies for women to help overcome these barriers, including taking control of their personal brand, self-promotion, public speaking, networking, and negotiating confidently. The document is aimed at providing insights and guidance for women seeking to advance their careers in sales leadership.
This document discusses transformative leadership and its key characteristics. Transformative leadership aims to positively change followers and organizations by inspiring a shared vision, building trust, and encouraging the heart. Transformative leaders are characterized as honest, forward-looking, competent, and inspiring. They transform others by focusing on higher order needs and consistently demonstrating qualities like inspiring a shared vision, challenging processes, enabling others, modeling best practices, and encouraging the heart. Transformative leadership can significantly impact organizations and employees.
Women as Mentors Does She or Doesn’t She? A Global Study of Businesswomen and...Meghan Daily
In 2012, there were no more women in top leadership positions at Fortune 500 companies than in 2011.
There are a few who successfully make it to the top of their field, but it is a long, hard climb. Among them are familiar names like Meg Whitman, Oprah Winfrey, Indra Nooyi, and Hillary Rodham Clinton.
These are all very different women—from different backgrounds, with different education and careers spanning different industries. What they do have in common is the role that mentoring played in helping them along the way.
Recent surveys indicate that achieving employee engagement and meeting/exceeding customer expectations are at the top of business concerns identified by CEOs worldwide. This Leadership Brief Express (LBE) explores the leadership behaviors instrumental in creating a culture where employees are engaged and motivated to contribute. These behaviors transform the relationship between management and employees enabling alignment, involvement, open & two-way communication, collaborative problem-solving & learning, innovation and high-performance.
6 Ways to Develop a Change Leader Mindset | October 2019BeLeaderly.com
Whether it’s a large-scale disruption or an everyday adjustment to the status quo, becoming a transformational change leader starts with managing yourself and then, leading others. Acquire self-management tools to fearlessly navigate change, and coaching skills to guide and inspire others as they adapt. (Training)
Speaker: Jo Miller, CEO, Be Leaderly
MCPA Conference- Leadership in a World of Leaderscfield3000
The document discusses leadership styles and developing a leadership philosophy. It explores different leadership styles like visionary, analytical, systematic, and collaborative. It encourages building a leadership philosophy founded on these styles and informed by works from various leadership experts. The document also discusses relational leadership, emphasizing that leadership depends on context and relationships. It provides an activity where participants examine different styles and consider team dynamics. The overall message is that developing one's own leadership philosophy grounded in their strengths and understanding of others is important for effective practice and guiding actions.
This document contains summaries of several articles on leadership. The first article discusses that no leader is perfect and the best leaders focus on their strengths and find others to make up for their limitations. It also outlines four steps in a leadership framework: sense making, relating, creating a vision, and inventing. The second article discusses how leaders can use difficult experiences or "crucibles" to reflect on their values and grow as leaders. The third discusses a study that found the most effective leaders have personal humility and professional will. It also notes that leadership can develop under the right circumstances.

Extra materials:
Descriptive
research
is a study designed to depict the participants in an accurate way. More simply put, descriptive analysis is all about describing people who take part in the survey.
There are three ways a researcher can go about doing a descriptive research project, and they are:
Observational, defined as a method of viewing and recording the participants
Case study, defined as an in-depth study of an individual or group of individuals
Survey, defined as a brief interview or discussion with an individual about a specific topic
Mixed
methods
research
(Extracted from the article below) is the use of quantitative and qualitative methods in a single study or series of studies. It is a new methodology that is increasingly used by health researchers, especially within health services research. There is a growing literature on the theory, design, and critical appraisal of mixed methods research. However, few papers summarize this methodological approach for health practitioners who wish to conduct or critically engage with mixed methods studies.
Article: Using Mixed Methods in Health Research
Meta-Analysis
Meta
-
analysis
is a statistical technique for combining data from multiple studies on a particular topic. A Meta-analysis is an analytical tool for estimating the mean and variance of underlying population effects from a collection of empirical studies addressing ostensibly the same research question. Meta‐analysis has become an increasingly popular and valuable tool in psychological research, and significant review articles typically employ these methods.
Article: Meta-Analysis in Medical Research
Epidemiology
According to the Centers for Disease Control,
Epidemiology
is the method used to find the causes of health outcomes and diseases in populations. In epidemiology, the patient is the community and individuals are viewed collectively. By definition, epidemiology is the study (scientific, systematic, and data-driven) of the distribution (frequency, pattern) and determinants (causes, risk factors) of health-related states and events (not just diseases) in specified populations (neighborhood, school, city, state, country, global).
Article: Epidemiology is a Science of High Importance
Longitudinal Studies
Longitudinal Study, an epidemiologic study that follows a population forward over time, evaluating the effects of one or more variables on a process. If individuals are followed, it is termed a longitudinal cohort study. If classes—e.g., age classes—are studied, it is a longitudinal cross-sectional study. Longitudinal studies are the converse (opposite) of horizontal (parallel) studies.

1. On the cover: Women and leadership 35
Women start careers in business and other professions with the
same
level of intelligence, education, and commitment as men. Yet
comparatively
few reach the top echelons.
This gap matters not only because the familiar glass ceiling is
unfair, but also
because the world has an increasingly urgent need for more
leaders. All
men and women with the brains, the desire, and the
perseverance to lead
should be encouraged to fulfill their potential and leave their
mark.
With all this in mind, the McKinsey Leadership Project—an
initiative to
help professional women at McKinsey and elsewhere—set out
four years ago
to learn what drives and sustains successful female leaders. We
wanted to
help younger women navigate the paths to leadership and, at the
same time,
to learn how organizations could get the best out of this talented
group.
To that end, we have interviewed more than 85 women around
the world
(and a few good men) who are successful in diverse fields.
Some lead 10,000
2. people or more, others 5 or even fewer. While the specifics of
their lives
vary, each one shares the goal of making a difference in the
wider world. All

Centered leadership:
How talented women thrive
A new approach to leadership can help women become more
self-confident
and effective business leaders.

and Rebecca A. Craske

insights into what it takes to stay the leadership course. We
have also studied
the academic literature; consulted experts in leadership,
psychology,
organizational behavior, and biology; and sifted through the
experiences of
hundreds of colleagues at McKinsey.
From the interviews and other research, we have distilled a
leadership
model comprising five broad and interrelated dimensions
(exhibit): meaning,
or finding your strengths and putting them to work in the
3. service of an
inspiring purpose; managing energy, or knowing where your
energy comes
from, where it goes, and what you can do to manage it; positive
framing, or
adopting a more constructive way to view your world, expand
your horizons,
and gain the resilience to move ahead even when bad things
happen;
connecting, or identifying who can help you grow, building
stronger relation-
ships, and increasing your sense of belonging; and engaging, or
finding
your voice, becoming self-reliant and confident by accepting
opportunities
and the inherent risks they bring, and collaborating with others.
We call this model centered leadership. As the name implies,
it’s about having
a well of physical, intellectual, emotional, and spiritual strength
that
drives personal achievement and, in turn, inspires others to
follow. What’s
particularly exciting is that we are starting to discover ways
women can
actively build the skills to become more self-confident and
effective leaders.
Centered leadership also works for men, though we have found
that the
model resonates particularly well with women because we have
built it on a
foundation of research into their specific needs and experiences.
Centered leadership emphasizes the role of positive emotions. A
few
characteristics particularly distinguish women from their male
4. counterparts
in the workplace. First, women can more often opt out of it than
men
can. Second, their double burden—motherhood and
management—drains
energy in a particularly challenging way. Third, they tend to
experience
emotional ups and downs more often and more intensely than
most men do.
Given these potentially negative emotions, centered leadership
consciously
draws on positive psychology, a discipline that seeks to identify
what makes
healthy people thrive. Although none of the women we
interviewed
articulated her ideas in precisely those terms, when we dived
into the litera-
ture and interviewed leading academics, we found strong echoes
of what
our female leaders had been telling us.

Meaning is the motivation that
moves us. It enables people to discover
what interests them and to push them-
selves to the limit. It makes the heart beat
faster, provides energy, and inspires
passion. Without meaning, work is a slog
between weekends. With meaning, any
job can become a calling.
It starts with happiness. Positive psycholo-
gists (including Tal Ben-Shahar, Jonathan
Haidt, and Martin Seligman) have defined
a progression of happiness that leads
from pleasure to engagement to meaning.
7. Researchers have demonstrated, for
example, that an ice cream break provides
only short-lived pleasure; in contrast,
the satisfaction derived from an act of kind-
ness or gratitude lasts much longer.
Katharine Graham, the first female CEO of a
Fortune 500 enterprise (the Washington
Post Company), famously said, “To love what
you do and feel that it matters—how could
anything be more fun?”
Why is meaning important for leaders?
Studies have shown that among profes-
sionals, it translates into greater job satis-
faction, higher productivity, lower turn-
over, and increased loyalty.1 The benefits
also include feelings of transcendence—
in other words, contributing to something
bigger than yourself generates a deeper
sense of meaning, thereby creating a virtu-
ous cycle. Finding meaning in life helped
some of the female leaders we interviewed
take new paths and accept the personal
risks implicit in their goals.

Signature strengths
Shelly Lazarus, the chairman and CEO
of the advertising firm Ogilvy & Mather
Worldwide, described how she “just
followed [her] heart, doing the things that
[she] loved to do.” This sense of meaning
inspired her, early in her career, to jump
from Clairol to Ogilvy. Lazarus commented
that everyone she knew thought that her
decision to go from the client side to the
agency side was a strategic move. But
“it wasn’t really like that,” she says. “I just
loved the interaction with the agency
because that was the moment I could see
where the ideas came to life.”
People seeking to define what is meaning-
10. ful can start, as one interviewee put it, by
“being honest with yourself about what
you’re good at and what you enjoy doing.”
Building these signature strengths into
everyday activities at work makes you hap-
pier, in part by making these activities
more meaningful. Although there is no
simple formula for matching your strengths
to any single industry or function, you
can look for patterns in jobs that have and
haven’t worked out and talk with others
about your experiences.
The connection between signature strengths
and work can change because priorities
do; sometimes, for example, a job is better
than a calling, especially for young
mothers. Our interviews show that this ebb
and flow is natural and that the key to
success is being aware of the shifts—and
making conscious choices about them—
in the context of bigger goals, personal or
professional.

Actively managing energy levels
is crucial to leaders. Today’s executives
work hard: 60 percent of senior execu-
tives toil more than 50 hours a week, and
10 percent more than 80 hours a week.2
What’s more, many women come home from
work only to sign onto a “second shift”—
92 percent of them still manage all house-
hold tasks, such as meal preparation and
child care.3
We’ve found that work–life balance is a
myth—so the only hope women have
is to balance their energy flows. This means
basing your priorities on the activities
that energize you, both at work and at home,
and actively managing your resources
to avoid dipping into reserves. Burnout is a
reality for men and women alike, but
for women who can opt out, so too is throw-
12. ing in the towel.
But work doesn’t have to be exhausting.
Mihály Csíkszentmihályi, a founder of posi-
tive psychology, studied thousands of
people, from sculptors to factory workers.
He found that those who frequently
experienced what he called “flow”—a sense
of being so engaged by activities that
you don’t notice the passage of time—were
more productive and derived greater satis-
faction from their work than those who did
not. Further, it energized rather than
drained them.

Zia Mody, a top litigator in India, described
how she gained energy from a life that
most people would see as exhausting. Even
when her three daughters were young,
she put in 16-hour days to prepare her cases.
A woman among thousands of men at
court, she lit up as she told us, “I love it!
I love winning. I love being in court. . . .
It excites me—I cannot tell you how much.”
One useful tactic is to identify the condi-
tions and situations that replenish your
energy and those that sap it. Self-awareness
lets you deliberately incorporate restora-
tive elements into your day. It can also help
you to space out your energy-sapping
tasks throughout the day, instead of bun-
dling them all into a single morning or
afternoon. A particularly useful tip, we have
found, is to give yourself time during the
day to focus without distractions such as
blinking lights and buzzing phones. Your
productivity will benefit several times over.

The frames people use to view
the world and process experiences
can make a critical difference
to professional outcomes. Many
studies suggest that optimists see life more
realistically than pessimists do, a frame
of mind that can be crucial to making the
right business decisions. That insight
may be particularly critical for women, who
16. are twice as likely to become depressed,
according to one study.4 Optimists, research
shows, are not afraid to frame the world
as it actually is—they are confident that they
can manage its challenges and move their
teams quickly to action. By contrast, pessi-
mists are more likely to feel helpless and
to get stuck in downward spirals that lead
to energy-depleting rumination.
Martin Seligman, a psychologist who was
an early proponent of positive psychology,
found, for example, that optimists are
better able to deal with the news that they
have cancer. Confident that they can
handle the prognosis, they immediately start
to gather facts and dive into treatment
plans; pessimists, on the other hand, become
paralyzed with fear. Seligman also shows
that optimism can be learned—an important
insight that underlies positive framing.
Positive framing and positive thinking, we
would emphasize, are two different notions.
The latter tries to replace adversity with
positive beliefs. The former accepts the facts
of adversity and counters them with action.
Talking yourself into a view contrary to the
facts has a temporary effect at best.

Five dimensions of leadership
On the cover: Women and leadership 43
The experience of Andrea Jung, the chair-
man and CEO of Avon, suggests how useful
positive framing can be. In late 2005,
Jung recalls, she found her company in a
decline that temporary factors could not
explain. Recognizing that she was the leader
who had created the strategies and the
team responsible for the downturn, she lis-
tened to the counsel of her executive
coach and promptly “fired herself” on a
Friday night. The following Monday,
Andrea showed up at work as the “new”
turnaround CEO. She proved herself to be
a “glass half full” optimist, and the recovery
19. plan her management team adopted after
a quick diagnosis led to a steady improve-
ment and a return to growth.
No matter how pessimistic you are by
nature, you can learn to view situations as
optimists do. The key is self-awareness.
If a meeting goes badly, for example, you
should limit your thoughts about it to
its temporary and specific impact and keep
them impersonal. It helps to talk with
trusted colleagues about the reasons for the
poor meeting and ways to do better next
time. These discussions should take place
quickly enough for you to make a speci-
fic plan and act on it. You should also under-
take some activity that will restore both
your energy and your faith in yourself—
perhaps having a hard workout, going
out with friends, or spending time with your
children.

The McKinsey Quarterly 2008 Number 444
People with strong networks and
good mentors enjoy more pro-
motions, higher pay, and greater
career satisfaction.5 They feel
a sense of belonging, which makes their
lives meaningful. As Mark Hunter and
Herminia Ibarra have noted in the Harvard
Business Review, what differentiates
a leader from a manager “is the ability to
figure out where to go and to enlist the
people and groups necessary to get there.”6
Yet not all networks are equal. Roy
Baumeister, a social psychologist who studies
social belonging and rejection, believes
that men tend to build broader, shallower
networks than women do and that the
networks of men give them a wider range of
resources for gaining knowledge and
professional opportunities.7 This theory is
a matter of substantial debate among
academics. Our experience with hundreds
of women at McKinsey, however, offers
additional evidence that women’s networks
tend to be narrower but deeper than men’s.
The experience of Dame Stella Rimington,
who in the late 1960s joined MI5, the
UK’s domestic intelligence organization,
21. offers an example of the power of broad
networks to get things done. Rimington,
later the agency’s director general, says
that “women were definitely second-class
citizens” in those days. They weren’t
allowed to do fieldwork, for example, yet
“many of the women were completely
indistinguishable from the men: they had
the same kind of education.”
She continues: “So we women—there were
quite a few of us by then—we sort of
ganged up and did a kind of round-robin
thing and said, ‘Why is it that we have
a completely different career than men who
are exactly like us?’ And for the first
time, the powers that be started to scratch
their heads because they suddenly had
to find an answer. . . . And in the end, of
course, they decided that they would
have to promote a few women.” She later
concluded that “no one of us would have
asked that question on her own. We were
supporting each other, and there was
power in the many.”
The leaders we interviewed also talked
about the importance of having individual
relationships with senior colleagues
willing to go beyond the role of mentor—
someone willing to stick out his or her
own neck to create opportunity for or help
a protégée. Such a person is what Ruth
Porat, a vice chairwoman at Morgan Stanley,
called a “sponsor.”
22. A number of studies have shown that women
who promote their own interests vigor-
ously are seen as aggressive, uncooperative,
and selfish. An equal number of studies
show that the failure of women to promote
their own interests results in a lack of
female leaders. Until one of these conditions
changes, sponsors, we believe, are the
key to helping women gain access to oppor-
tunities they merit and need to develop.

Porat explained how a managing director
took a chance on her when she was a
second-year associate, asking her to present
to a client’s board of directors. “The con-
sumer client wanted a woman to be present.
I had never been in a boardroom, let alone
presented in a boardroom. ‘Sink or swim,’ he
told me. ‘You’re in.’ I still remember to
this day a mistake I made and that it was,
overall, a good presentation. He took a
real chance on me.”
One surprising thing we learned as a result
of talking with female leaders was that
they often fail to reciprocate and find expec-
tations that they should do so distaste-
ful. A senior partner at McKinsey noted that
men naturally understand that you must
“give before you get,” but women don’t. This
tendency—which other leaders have
described to us as well—combined with the
sometimes awkward sexual politics, real
or perceived, between senior men and
younger women, makes it harder for women
to find sponsors.
Yet women can learn reciprocity. To start,
it’s important to assess your comfort
level with the people you know through
work, as well as how influential they are
professionally. Most women we’ve worked
25. with typically find that the colleagues
they are close to are not influential—and
vice versa. Explicit planning and some
risk taking are needed to change this.
One approach is to provide and ask for
help on a regular basis. Finding ways to
forge connections through interests out-
side of work is another. Over and over, we
heard, “Make it personal,” in the sense
that others will get along with you more
easily if they see your human side. You
can express this in all kinds of ways at work,
without inappropriately blending your
professional and personal lives. The female
leaders we interviewed acted on this
insight both to find sponsors and to build
networks.

‘We were supporting each

The McKinsey Quarterly 2008 Number 446
Many people think that hard work
will eventually be noticed and
rewarded. That can indeed happen—
but usually doesn’t. Women, our
interviewees repeatedly told us, need
to “create their own luck.” To engage with
opportunities by taking ownership of
them, you must first find your own voice,
literally. Julie Daum, a prominent Spencer
Stuart recruiter who specializes in board
placements, told us that even senior women
27. on boards still lose out by not speaking up:
they hang back if they think that they have
nothing new to say or that their ideas fall
short of profound.
One senior woman we interviewed told us
how she learned to join in: “Every Monday,
we had a senior-management meeting. In
the beginning, I just listened. I learned from
the guys because they were all there. And
after a while I started to speak up. You did
the work, so you’ve got to talk about it.
And I did.”
Women who want to grow as leaders should
also take ownership of their professional
development. Mary Ma, Lenovo’s former
chief financial officer, said that she drew
inspiration from using the Japanese auto
industry as a metaphor, reshaping her-
self to become more competitive by identi-
fying what she had to change and then
actually changing it. As Ma noted, she didn’t
complain to her boss or to her colleagues
but rather looked inward to see how she
could be a more effective leader. Instead of
waiting for someone to tell her what to
do, she took a systematic approach to self-
improvement.

Engagement is equally about risk taking.
The women we interviewed accept risk as
a part of opportunity. Some have the
confidence and courage to dive in; others
use analytic problem solving to assess
risks and then proceed to action. Psy-
chologist Daniel Gilbert says his research
indicates that people who make a choice for
risk and work with it, rather than avoid
it, report a greater degree of happiness than
others do.
Shona Brown, Google’s senior vice president
of business operations, described how
30. she handles opportunities and the risks that
accompany them. “I’ll use a skiing anal-
ogy because I like to jump off cliffs,” she
says. “But I generally jump off cliffs from
which I’m relatively confident I’m going to
land—or if I don’t, it’s not dangerous.”
Brown said she enjoys risk. “I like to be at
that point where you’re about to jump.
Your stomach is kind of going ‘woo’! It’s not
so simple that you’re sure you’ll succeed.
But you’re not in a life-threatening situation.”
Our interviews have shown us that to
embrace opportunity, people must often
take sharp detours and that the risks of
unexpected changes commonly seem more
obvious than the benefits. Reaching out
to others—not to avoid making decisions
yourself but to learn the best outcome
from change—can often help you see oppor-
tunities in the right frame and decide
whether to go for them.

‘You did the work, so you’ve

The McKinsey Quarterly 2008 Number 448
McKinsey has been hard at work for more than
a decade developing female leaders. Centered leader-
ship is a simple yet powerful model that has infused
tremendous energy into our efforts. We are now
beginning to see the power that comes from putting
all the pieces together. Since March, we’ve intro-
duced the centered-leadership model to a thousand
women and half as many men in regional and
global learning programs. Work on building the skills
at its core has unleashed collective and individ-
ual energy. Some participants quickly reached out to
people who might sponsor them; others began
to give their career focus greater meaning right away
by asking to be involved in new projects that reflect
their specific interests. Many of the women
reported a tremendous increase in their energy and
motivation. Indeed, more than 100 of them signed
onto an interest group to compare notes about how
they are applying centered leadership.
It’s early days for centered leadership, but like a
grassroots movement it is proliferating organically.
Interestingly, we initially rolled out these ideas
only to women but were immediately approached
by many men who wanted “what the women
32. were having.”
Joanna Barsh
Within McKinsey and in the corporate world, our work on
centered leader-
ship continues (see sidebar, “Initial results”). To understand
how men
and women practice it across tenures, industries, and regions,
we are inter-
viewing more female and
male leaders and launching
large-scale surveys—again,
with female and male
respondents.
Our research is exploring
the hypothesis that today’s
leaders can become even
more effective through the model of centered leadership: a
shared purpose
with deep meaning for the people involved, explicit awareness
and man-
agement of energy, positive framing, strong informal and formal
networks,
and the collaborative creation of opportunities. In time, we hope
to help
increase the number of female leaders significantly by giving
them the tools
to build leadership skills for any playing field. Q

This book highlights and discusses the emergence of new
business leaders on the highest executive level from different
groups that were not as apparent in the lists of Chief Executives
until recently. One of these groups that are discussed in the
book is women, and how they were able to now lead some of the
biggest corporations on earth. The book includes two chapters
that analyze in details the recent emergence of women CEOs for
Fortune 500 companies, as well as examining the reasons and
conditions that allowed for this recent change in business
leadership. Furthermore, the author discusses the future of
women in business leadership based on current events and
following the efforts of women leaders. In addition, the book
touches on several topics related to Centered Leadership Model
(CLM), specifically ‘engaging’ and ‘connecting’. Moreover, the
author argues that most of the female CEOs in the biggest
companies in the world were hired as insiders, meaning they
worked their way up the corporate world within the same
company and proved themselves to the point where they were
appointed. According to the author, this ability of proving one’s
worth and challenging the stigma surrounding women in
business leadership positions stems from self-confidence and
35. effective leadership, which are parts of the CLM. For the
intended research, this book would contribute to background
information as well as real life examples for women in the
highest leadership positions in business. Furthermore, for the
character of choice in the research, Lubna Olayan, this resource
can be used to compare, connect and evaluate Olayan’s journey
and vision as a woman CEO based on the analysis in the book
and alongside the CLM. Finally, Olayan started as an employee
and climbed the corporate ladder in the company, which is a
scenario highlighted in the book and hence the book can be used
to reflect on that aspect of Olayan’s life.

In this online article, the author provides an overview of Lubna
Olayan’s personal and professional journeys in the business
world, and how she became the first female to work in one of
the biggest financial corporation in the conservative country of
Saudi Arabia. The article provides background information on
Olayan’s early years of education and professional career, from
her early days in Olayan Financing Co. until she became CEO in
2001. Furthermore, the article highlights Olayan’s vision and
efforts throughout her career and provide statistical data
reflecting the outcomes of her efforts in empowering Saudi
women and involving them more in the workforce. In addition,
the article discusses Olayan’s personality and work ethics in
terms of leadership and how her personal traits coupled with
great ambition helped her to rise to power in an environment
that did not welcome women in business. Moreover, the article
documents how Olayan was able to mentor and guide many
women leaders and integrate them into the OFC conglomerate.
This resource provides supportive points in many aspects to be
covered in the research, ranging from background information
on Olayan herself, to information related to women in
leadership and women empowerment. Furthermore, the article
covers all aspects of CLM with examples of how Olayan
36. capitalized on these aspects in order to impact and drive her
personal achievements and in turn inspire others. Therefore, the
article’s content can be used when discussing how Olayan
optimized the CLM in order to achieve her personal goals and
excelled in a corporate leadership position. Finally, the article
highlights several important development phases in Olayan’s
uprising and early career days such as personal growth and the
eagerness to learn and perfect business skills. These
developmental aspects mentioned in the article can be used in
the research and connect them to the CLM in order to better
understand and demonstrate the impact of Olayan’s leadership.
Assignment 2 Women in leadership –Research paper
You have already chosen and conducted some secondary
research (assignment 1) :
1. Your leader - woman (alive) and from the MENA
region/your home country.
2. A topic of leadership which traits serve female leaders best in
a male-dominant profession?
Answer is through framing and connecting.
-talk about Lubna Alolayan background , the daughter of the
founder, married to an american, what she achieved and ranked
in forbes or so,
-defining framing from the centered leadership model, which is
about how you see things. Lubna Alolayan finds saudi men
supportive of saudi women although it is not true in reality. So
her view is positive about them hence her quote. Also important
to mention my reference in the annotated bibliography about her
breaking gender barriers.
-Then I will be talking about connecting , how she connects
with men as she is good at it also refer to centered leadership
model. So her relationship with men and women is strong in a
conservative society, she has many relationships with men and
works directly with them.
For this research paper, you will also conduct primary research
37. on the topic / leader. Your research paper is to study the leader
and topic of leadership within the Centered Leadership Model.
