Drawing Inspiration
āI have always been inspired by my grandmothers and my
own mother,ā Dr. Rahm shares. āThey are wonderful and
strong women, kind and nurturing human beings. I deeply
respect their core values.ā Reļ¬ecting on inļ¬uential
females, Dr. Rahm admires Eleanor Rooseveltās
commitment to human rights, particularly her advocacy
for civil and womenās rights. According to Dr. Rahm,
Rooseveltās role in shaping the Universal Declaration of
Human Rights is remarkable.
Mother Teresaās selļ¬ess dedication to helping the
impoverished is truly inspiring for Dr. Rahm as she
continues her journey. Her acts of kindness and the
establishment of the Missionaries of Charity motivate
Dr. Rahm to ļ¬nd ways to make a positive impact
through compassion and service.
Margaret Thatcherās groundbreaking role as the ļ¬rst
female UK Prime Minister also impresses Dr. Rahm.
Thatcherās resilience in a male-dominated ļ¬eld
encourages her to overcome challenges and pursue
goals by breaking gender barriers along the way. From
these remarkable women, Dr. Rahm draws inspiration
for her own journey recognizing the importance of
compassion, service, resilience, and advocacy for
equality.
Achieving Equilibrium
āIām not sure Iāve ever been able to achieve a perfect work-
life balance,ā Dr. Rahm reļ¬ects. āEach day, I make an effort
to prioritize my children, family and personal growth in the
morning, as well as in the evening when I reļ¬ect on the day.ā
Throughout the day, Dr. Rahmās focus remains on her
family and children recognizing the importance of
actively spending quality time with them. Despite the

continuous work pattern that allows her to concentrate
on necessary tasks and derive solutions from both a
business and a scientiļ¬c perspective. This approach
helps her navigate lifeās complexities while striving to
maintain a balance between personal and professional
responsibilities. āBy doing so,ā Dr. Rahm emphasizes, āI
aim to make a lasting impact on the world, leaving it in a
better state and creating a meaningful legacy.ā The
ongoing effort to achieve the ideal work-life balance
remains a priority and she is committed to ļ¬nding ways
to enhance both aspects of her life.
Leadership Lessons
Dr. Rahm reļ¬ects on her leadership approach and
expresses that running any organization involves
strategic thinking and a willingness to take well-
considered, calculated risks while adapting in the face
of change. She states, āI continually craft a vision that
resonates with my values and long-term goals, involving my
team in the process.ā
Reļ¬ecting on gender-related barriers, Dr. Rahm
acknowledges that most women have encountered
gender-related barriers. Starting her career in the
male-dominated pharmaceutical industry, she notes the
disparity in patent ownership, with women holding only
7% of patents across the US. āItās important to focus on
consistently being your best self, your most brilliant self
while psychologically knowing that often we may need to
burst through those gender barriers politely, but with
fortitude,ā she advises.
Deļ¬ning feminism, Dr. Rahm states, āAt its core, women
deserve the same rights as men, whether it be equal pay,
17. gender norms, self-expression, or reproductive rights.ā
Growing up in Southeast Missouri, she experienced
ļ¬rsthand the challenges of navigating a āgood old boysā
network. āThat upbringing taught me a lot about gender
roles, biases and how to better deal with obstacles,ā she
shares. Through her experiences, Dr. Rahm emphasizes
the importance of equality and breaking down barriers
for women in all aspects of life.

27. The Qualities of
Women Leaders
Transforming Industries
n recent decades, there has been a signiļ¬cant
Iincrease in the number of women rising to top
leadership positions across various industries. As
more women take on these inļ¬uential roles, they are
transforming businesses and entire sectors with their
unique leadership qualities and skills.
Remarkable Qualities
One of the standout qualities of many great women
leaders is emotional intelligence (EQ). Women leaders
often excel at reading people and situations,
empathizing with others, and connecting on a personal
level. This heightened EQ enables them to build strong
relationships, lead with compassion, resolve conļ¬icts,
and motivate others. Their ability to understand
emotions and perspectives is a tremendous asset in
uniting teams behind a shared vision.
Another striking quality is inclusiveness. Many leading
women make a conscious effort to promote diversity,
seek input from people at all levels, and value different
viewpoints. They realize that diversity fosters
innovation and that inclusive cultures where everyone
feels heard yield better results. By championing
inclusiveness, women leaders are making workplaces
more equitable and productive.
Rising to New Horizons
The best women leaders also exhibit exceptional
communication abilities. They are gifted at listening
attentively, speaking persuasively, delivering
constructive feedback, and adapting communication
styles to ļ¬t different situations and audiences. Their
strong communication skills allow them to articulate
vision powerfully, provide clear direction, offer
thoughtful mentorship, and inspire those around them.

28. Additionally, women leaders are often praised for
taking a collaborative approach. Rather than impose
rigid top-down policies, many embrace a collaborative
style that taps into the talents of the entire team to
achieve common goals. They actively facilitate
cooperation and know that bringing people together
multiplies capabilities. This spirit of collaboration
allows women leaders to get the very best out of their
teams.
The results-driven focus is another hallmark. Although
they care about people, great women leaders remain
mission-focused. They set ambitious goals, develop
strategies to meet objectives, lead decisively amid
uncertainty, and keep people focused on desired
outcomes. Their determination to succeed against the
odds drives organizations forward.
Many leading women also exude conļ¬dence and
courage. They are self-assured in their abilities but also
comfortable accepting input and acknowledging
mistakes. Their courage allows them to take calculated
risks, make bold moves when needed, and tackle
difļ¬cult challenges head-on rather than shy away. This
conļ¬dence empowers them to drive meaningful
progress.
Organizations that empower more women leaders reap
the beneļ¬ts through enhanced innovation, cohesion,
and excellence. As more industries feel this positive
impact, it creates momentum for greater gender
diversity in leadership. The future is bright for women
helping to lead across all sectors and make their
inļ¬uential mark.
