What if the traits that move careers forward are not the ones we were taught to reward?
In The Athena Doctrine: How Women (and the Men Who Think Like Them) Will Rule the Future, brand strategist John Gerzema and journalist Michael D'Antonio start with this large question and back it with data. They surveyed 64,000 people in 13 countries, with the majority of respondents stating traits usually seen as "feminine" are the ones most needed in modern leaders. These include empathy, collaboration, flexibility, patience, honesty, and long-term thinking.
Please join us for a thoughtful and lively discussion as we explore how men and women alike can build effective leadership skills that advance not only their careers but also their personal growth. Together, we'll challenge the stereotypes that label strengths as "masculine" or "feminine" and celebrate the qualities that make all of us better leaders.
