'When Women Lead': How Female Leadership Traits Result In 'Game-changing' Businesses - Velshi - MSNBC



There may be a “record high” in the number of female CEOs on the Fortune 500 list, but female representation in business leadership is still extremely low. In her new book, CNBC Senior Media and Tech reporter Julia Boorstin delves into the astounding hurdles women have to overcome to get to the top of the business world and the leadership qualities that biased minds frown upon despite their successful track record. “The characteristics women tend to lead with are actually more effective.” - Aired on 10/15/2022.

You know, this brings to mind my grandson...

Not long after we moved to this red hellhole, when he was a few years younger, I was teaching him to haggle for better prices at auto parts stores.

One day, he came out with a strange look on his face & said, "Wow!"

"You know what that guy said when I asked him if he could do a little better on the price?"

I shook my head - couldn't imagine.

"He said the redneck smiled & said, 'Well, since you're not a woman or a (racial slur!), I'll give you a couple bucks off."

Happens quite frequently here, sadly.

I actually had 1 redneck tell me to "Move to Mississippi, it's much better there because they're 100 years behind. They do things right there."

He was referring to prosecuting vandals in response to me complaining about my car being vandalized & the police doing nothing about it. (It was a white male doing the vandalizing, so they would not have done anything to him anyway.)

The guy she met in college and married was originally from there, so that's why they moved. I haven't heard from her for awhile, but she started sending me emails advocating for prayer in schools! And of the guys my cousins married, hers was the one who I liked, really nice guy.

This place is generally disgusting on too many levels to even begin to list them.

I guess stupidity is #1, as evidenced by Blackburn's overwhelming election.

Always an international disgrace, that's the one thing we can consistently count on.

Btw, that was the same auto parts store where an old redneck pulled into parking lot in a Jeep with a machine gun on a tripod welded to the roof.

I asked the guy if it was operational & he dejectedly said, "no. They wouldn't let me do that. I had to make it not work."



What a mindset, hu?

She's my younger cousin and went to this small college in North Carolina near the retirement community where my grandmother was living. My Nana kept trying to get me to go there, but I kept telling her that I'd already been to college! And she certainly knew that, she took me to my college interviews, visited me there and came to my graduation! But I was the eldest and the closest to my grandmother. Anyway, I was grateful that Linda went there since that meant Nana stopped asking me! And I was never that impressed with the guys my cousins chose, but I liked Jeff a lot.

And drug your cousin down the rabbithole with him. 😏

I love hearing about your Grandma. All of my grands were dead before I was born, so I've never had one.

But I did know both grandmothers well, my mother's mother was from Poland. She was a marvelous cook, I only wish she'd taught me. But she died right after I got out of school - my Nana lived till a week before her 98th birthday. I was very close to her and I still miss her all the time.

Oh, but for a piece of potica!

My mom used to make it when I was little. I can remember her making dough & grinding the nuts.

Yummy!
