Overview

Unleash your leadership by identifying and overcoming the limitations you place on yourself in the workplace.

Women are called by God to flourish in areas of leadership. And for the first time in modern history, women are making their way into strategic positions of influence and leadership within the ministry, public, corporate, charity and voluntary sectors.

Certainly, there are still external disadvantages that women leaders face in the professional world, and there's still a lot of work to do. But there are internal hinderances, too, and those you can take charge of today.

In 7 Deadly Sins of Women in Leadership, Kate Coleman considers what lies at the root of the many challenges facing today's leaders—women and men—and proposes ways of dealing with them. Effective leadership starts with you. Based on her 35 years of leadership experience, Kate explains how you can:

  • Overcome limiting self-perceptions
  • Establish boundaries
  • Develop a tailor-made personal vision
  • Cultivate a healthy work/life rhythm
  • Stop being a people-pleaser
  • Learn to confront not collude
  • Be intentional with your inner circle

Written for every leader from any sector or gender (men could learn a few things from this book too), this proven and practical guidebook will enable you to identify and overcome self-defeating patterns of behavior, in ways that will radically transform your leadership.
