Over the years of my educative journey, I have felt a strong desire to document what I and my colleagues have seen and heard-the stories, insights, and lessons we've gained in our travels throughout Asia and the world. This book, the eighth in our ten-volume series, focuses on the vital topic of women's leadership. It is especially timely for 2022, a year colored by greater uncertainties, disruptions, hostilities, and divisions than any of us are used to. The era we're living in calls for us as both leaders and citizens of the world to create more inclusive and sustainable communities, and to diminish the deepening fault-lines of race, ethnicity, gender, politics, and values.The ten authors featured in this book, coming from varying communities across the globe and a range of professional backgrounds, provide plenty of food for thought and vigorous calls to action in our fight for a better tomorrow. They argue that for women's leadership to flourish in a broader societal context, women can't be the only participants in the struggle. Achieving a true equality of leadership across the world requires an active partnership between men and women, in which the two groups join forces to learn about and take action against the blind-spots and pain-points that women encounter, thus improving all of our lives and increasing the opportunities for women's advancement.
