In When Women Lead, Julia Boorstin brings together the stories of women in business — over sixty of those are from female CEOs and leaders, and dozens of new studies.

Watch here.

Her combination of narrative and research reveals how once-underestimated characteristics, from vulnerability and gratitude to divergent thinking, can be vital superpowers — and that anyone can work these approaches to their advantage.

Featuring new interviews with Katrina Lake, Gwyneth Paltrow, Jenn Hyman, Whitney Wolfe Herd, Lena Waithe, Shivani Siroya, Julia Collins, and more, When Women Lead is a radical blueprint for the future of business, and our world at large.
