Women and Leadership
At Officium, we believe that both sexes can capitalize on their strengths by bringing more of who they are to what they do. Among the natural talents of women is the ability to build and nurture relationships. In her book, Pitch Like a Girl: How a Woman Can Be Herself and Still Succeed, Rona Lichenberg states, “What if you don't have to change who you are to get what you want? What if you can achieve your most desired professional and personal goals by simply tapping more fully and consciously into the power of the woman you already are?” Knowing how gender issues play out in your organization can help you capitalize on your natural abilities to increase your power. This forms a backdrop for how you can persuade others to share your views and support you and your ideas.
