Charlotte Beers: I'd Rather Be In Charge

Board member of Martha Stewart Living Omnimedia, former corporate CEO, Undersecretary of State for Public Diplomacy, and author of I'd Rather Be in Charge, Charlotte Beers describes why women are so underrepresented in the highest echelons of corporate leadership. Charlotte Beers shares her insightful and often provocative reasons for why so many women have not broken through the glass ceiling and into top leadership roles. Charlotte presents the alternative to the standard recommendations for women, and recommends that women become their best authentic selves at work. To change the way women perceive themselves, and how others at work view them, is essential for achieving the corner office. Charlotte shares her own story, and the lessons she learned along the way, and offers guidance to other women who seek to lead, inspire, and influence others. Women can achieve the top leadership roles, but they must remove their self created obstacles to achieving their own destiny.
