Women's Leadership Styles: What's Right for You?

In other months of our When She Speaks Series, we touch upon the gender issue tangentially, but this month, the gender issue will be the theme. Questions may include:

·         What makes an effective woman leader, particularly one in a high tech world?

·         What are some typically feminine leadership traits, and how can they be leveraged in a male-dominated world?

·         How does one interact with other women, and their unique leadership styles?

·         How can one better understand her one style, and proactively expand it?

These and other questions on gender and leadership in high tech will be explored by our panel this month.
