Add to basketBy definition, a business can't be transformative if it's just more of the same.
Leaders must have the vision to see things differently and the wherewithal
to capitalize on all available talent.
Talking about gender characteristics in the business world is an important,
yet explosive topic. Much of the discussion today has become very one-sided,
and therefore falls on deaf ears.
Expanding the Conversation takes things in a different direction. Gender-related
characteristics are called out without apology. Only then can they be leveraged
holistically as both strengths and complements.
In order to create powerful, disruptive shifts across a global economy, we must
start addressing this discussion head-on and learn to positively exploit genderdominated
attributes for a competitive advantage.
It's not an easy discussion and it's certainly not always "fair." But to get anywhere,
it needs to be honest. Leaders - both current and future - need to engage with
curiosity and lead with intent.
For those ready. . . it's time to expand the conversation.
“I was shocked at how much I enjoyed this book. It made me think. A lot. A great read for women, leaders, and all entrepreneurial Millennials who want to engage further in this conversation.”
- ROBYN WARD, Tech startup veteran, adjunct professor at USC, ADVISOR TO Women Investing in Women and The Girls Lounge
“A thoughtful book on how we stop minimizing gender differences and start recognizing them as a source of strength.”
- ADAM GRANT, New York Times bestselling author of ORIGINALS and GIVE AND TAKE
“Diversity in companies creates better cultures and the data points to a higher level of success. The timing of Expanding the Conversation is what we should all be reading and talking about now.”
- JOANNE WILSON, Gotham Gal
“As a Venture Capitalist, I invest in two things: ideas and people. In my experience, those that build diverse teams- employing different perspectives- those are the teams that thrive. Expanding the Conversation makes you think about how different gender and personality characteristics can be used to complement and enhance. A great read for leaders growing their teams today, and those looking to do so in the future.”
- JESSE DRAPER, Halogen Ventures
