How to Thrive as a Woman Leader in a Still Patriarchal Society — Iulia Ivan

How to thrive as a woman leader in a still patriarchal society For generations, patriarchal societies have imparted the lesson of invisibility to women. Yet, in leadership roles, the spotlight intensifies. As the head, you bear a brighter light than any other position. Amidst the challenges of discrimination, unequal opportunities, and bullying from those threatened by our ascent, there exists a subtler struggle. Unseen and often unconscious, these internal soldiers have been witnesses to numerous acts of oppression and violence against us, as women. Their mission? To maintain the illusion of safety by keeping us invisible. I have known Iulia for quite a while and I have always admired her mixture of courage, ambition, can-do attitude, wisdom, kindness, and non-judgmental style. The book reflects all these parts of herself, sharing her style and experience. It’s an inspiring book, one that every woman leader should read. She is the kind of business partner and friend that everyone would love to have in his/her life. - Lelia Topora, Founder of LT Human Links
