Reviews & social proof

“The Pygmalion Effect is explained as a self-fulfilling prophecy – you treat others according to your expectations of them, and they in turn adapt their behavior to how you treat them. I found this an interesting term to learn about in relation to female leadership. The book also includes fifteen testimonies by female leaders that I enjoyed reading, including women like Jessica Alba and Kamala Harris. Finally, I appreciated that this book’s method of training focuses a lot on coaching and mentorship, which I find lacking in many businesses.” — Ashley

“This book explains the concept of transformational leadership, which produces changes and transforms people, to the development of women as leaders within their companies. This concept tries to create and open spaces in business so that women can develop their skills and grow as leaders and managers and thus achieve their objectives and be successful. The author describes this process transmitting her personal experience and exposing the cases of different women who have gone through this process and that she sees as examples that can help readers. I highly recommend this great book.” — Celeste
