“In Influence, Maddy Dychtwald offers a sweeping and provocative look at the implications of the biggest demographic change of our times: the emergence of women as an economic force. Women are chafing at corporate constraints, growing their businesses, reinventing family roles, gaining voice through social media, and flexing their financial muscles. Her engaging book takes womanpower to the next level: how to exercise significant leadership to make a difference in the world.”
–Rosabeth Moss Kanter, Harvard Business School Professor, Director of the Harvard Advanced Leadership Initiative, and author of Confidence and SuperCorp
In the United States and in very many nations around the world, women are on the cusp of new financial power–and evidence suggests that women will use this power to improve society in ways we can only begin to imagine. Through candid interviews and lively reporting, and with exclusive research, Dychtwald reveals a huge cultural transformation that is about to occur–a true tipping point–after which more children may have quality health care and education, workplaces may be more responsive to families, men may experience new freedoms and opportunities to pursue more meaningful careers, and more corporations and nations will be led by women, and they will thrive.
Dychtwald and Larson give us a sneak peek at the world turned right-side-up by women. To read this book is to prepare oneself for an altered–and improved–way of life.
