The Female Vision
Women’s Real Power at Work
Forward by Marshall Goldsmith
Women see the world through a distinctive lens. What they see is defined by what they notice, what the value, and how they believe the world shall be. Yet because women’s ways of seeing have not been recognized, their potential to contribute remains under-leveraged.
In this brilliant and strongly argued new book, Sally Helgesen and Julie Johnson describe the three elements that shape the female vision and explore the specific benefits that each provides:
- Women’s capacity for broad-spectrum notice widens the scope of information available to organizations and provides clues about relationships, shifting markets, and potential conflicts.
- Women’s focus on the quality of daily experience rather than abstract measures of achievement provides a way to restore balance in a 24/7 workplace.
- Women’s penchant for viewing work in a large social context offers a powerful means to engage motivation at a profound and authentic level.
Drawing an original research co-sponsored by the National Council for Research on Women, The Female Vision lays out exactly what companies must do to engage, energize and support talented women, and show’s women how to nurture and sustain their greatest power.
