In a quest for answers, this powerful book delves deep into the remarkable life experiences of eight women including Dr. Opal Lee, Paula Stone Williams, Eva Hausman, Sylvia Whitlock, Jane Dyer, Kim Dechaine, Wendy Fong, and Jolly Lux. These fearless women share a common struggle against external and internal barriers to leadership advancement. Women continue to find themselves ensnared in antiquated narratives and constricting beliefs and legislation, along with a lack of mentorship and limited flexibility and support.
McAfee and Paetow offer the tools and guidance for women to see themselves through a different lens and uncover their true selves, talents, passions, and leadership potential. They examine eight attributes of fearless leadership, blending the masculine and feminine leadership styles, that are essential for success and wholeness. The book also introduces an inclusive leadership model called The Shero’s Journey that reimagines the storyline and pathways to leadership, giving all people an opportunity to become thriving, balanced, holistic leaders, not half leaders.
Gender equality in leadership is not just a moral imperative; it’s a pragmatic necessity. The business world stands to gain immeasurably from increased female representation in leadership roles. By peeling back the layers of self-doubt and societal constraints, this book offers a roadmap for women to rise above the chains of convention and find the fearless leader within themselves.
“Jam-packed with stories that women will be able to relate to, see themselves in, and not feel alone,” writes Dr. Rowena Ortiz-Walters, Dean and Professor of Management at the Greehey School of Business at St. Mary’s University. “Applicable to women of all ages, Fearless Female Leaders guides young women toward becoming fearless leaders and more mature women to harness their own power.”
