review 1: I have a wish: that self help and self development could be separated at birth. Unfortunately - and particularly for women - any topic leads into an Oprah-zone of belief, aspiration, expression and self-actualization.Often, I would appreciate an understanding of capitalism and the workplace.How remarkable women lead is a solid book. It does contain too much over-sharing and 'inspirational role models' for my liking. There is not enough attention on how women's careers in particular were impacted by the global financial crisis. But there are some worthwhile models and modes. The capacity to 'reframe' is particularly useful. Also, there is some strong work in the second half on how to reschedule a ridiculous work schedule.
review 2: Although I enjoyed the ... moreinteresting stories about successful women leaders, I didn't find most of the advice or traits associated with effective leadership to be all that new or groundbreaking. But it still gave me a lot to think about. I particularly enjoyed the last section about "Energizing" because finding the energy to do all I want to at work and at home is a constant challenge for me. This reassured me that it can happen! less
