About this listen

In her groundbreaking, deeply reported work, Julia Boorstin reveals the odds-defying leadership approaches of women running the world's most innovative and successful companies—and what we can learn from them.

Now, in When Women Lead, Boorstin brings together the stories of over sixty of those female CEOs and leaders, and dozens of new studies. Her combination of narrative and research reveals how once-underestimated characteristics, from vulnerability and gratitude to divergent thinking, can be vital superpowers—and that anyone can work these approaches to their advantage.

Featuring new interviews with Gwyneth Paltrow, Jenn Hyman, Whitney Wolfe Herd, Lena Waithe, Shivani Siroya, and more, When Women Lead is a radical blueprint for the future of business, and our world at large.

PLEASE NOTE: When you purchase this title, the accompanying PDF will be available in your Audible Library along with the audio.

"When Women Lead is replete with concrete insights that have personally helped me navigate our unprecedented times of change. Weaving together perspectives from tech, business, politics, the cultural sphere and beyond, Boorstin's deep reporting and voracious inquiries serve not only as a tactical manual for individuals, but as a toolkit for building interdisciplinary connections." (Bettina Korek, CEO of the Serpentine Galleries, London)

This book is really good because it has so many insights, however (and this is my thing) what I have caught myself doing whilst listening to these kind of audiobooks (also particularly this narrator didn’t help) is that I get triggered with all the data that supports the whole storyline, so I got a sense that the author was providing more bad news than solutions overall. I liked that she mentioned some examples of internationally know women that have nailed it, however these women were either celebrities or politicians, which was kind of hard to related to. Overall is a good book, I just got annoyed sometimes and this is why I ended up taking forever to finish it. I so recommend it, don’t get me wrong, I just wasn’t left at the end with a solid sense of hope, that’s all.

I liked it, I just didn’t engage on the performance
