Top 5 Paths to Achievement Without TOO Much Sweat!

Karen Keller

The days of ‘kissing’ your way to the top are gone. At least for smart women who know the consequences of doing it otherwise! 5 paths to achieving:

Men wanted for hazardous journey. Small wages, bitter cold, long months of complete darkness, constant danger. Safe return doubtful.

And along with that comes a multitude of beyond priceless gifts – ones we hide, push aside or devalue because women buy into the ideology of ‘in order to succeed in business we have to behave, think, and feel like men.’ Heck, they’ve even written books on how to think like a man.

Karen Keller

Mistake 1 > Rejection.  People refuse to follow.  They don’t connect with your direction.  They run in circles to avoid carrying out your plans.

Mistake 2 > Making an error or bad call.  You are off base – something went wrong.  People scatter and you are left holding the bag.

Servant Leadership

Karen Keller

What is the concept of servant leadership? The servant-leader is servant first. Initially, women want to serve. It is our conscious choice. Then we aspire to lead. That is what makes women GREAT leaders. Women see and accept the value in serving as a way of leading.
