Summary |
"In her new book, top high-tech industry executive and mother Moe Grzelakowski has discovered the keys to why motherhood transforms good leaders into great leaders. Leaders who have sufficient ambition and talent to climb to the top of the corporate ladder often lack the empathy, humility, and egolessness needed for long-term corporate success. Through research of 50 of America's top corporate women, all of whom have children, Moe found that bearing and raising children had an amazing impact on their values."--BOOK JACKET |
