Voice America Women Mean Business Radio Show

EPISODE TITLE

A Lesson in Leadership

  • Show Date: January 5, 2010

Women have a unique relationship to power and leadership and this topic is of special interest to my guest today, Gloria Feldt. Her own story is inspiring and unique. Going from being a teen mom in rural Texas to the president and CEO of Planned Parenthood Federation of America, Gloria has been described as “part den mother, part businesswoman, and part Mae West”. My conversation with Gloria today is a lesson in leadership as we discuss the current state of women leaders in business and politics, what tools are necessary for women’s leadership success, and how women relate to power.
