Excel tastes great, but it’s not quite right for this party! My first job out of college was a pretty high-volume pizza place in California. We were continuously understaffed, constantly on the phone trying to find replacements, and always rushing to do so. I was 23 years old, working with other college students, recent graduates, and perpetual “shift traders” who showed up late and missed shifts based on schedule “confusions”.

Our economy needs women in leadership. When women are more than tokens in leadership – representing over 30 percent of the team in diverse business specialties – their organizations perform demonstrably better. Not only are women naturally good leaders, showing the capacity to balance their leadership styles to achieve results even more adeptly than men at times, but they are hard workers and driven to succeed as executives as well.

'Negotiation strategies indicate that when both sides work together to share information, both parties come out better. When you hide information or believe the other party is hiding something, both sides come out with worse deals than if they had been honest. Yet, it’s in our nature to think we’re leaving something on the table. Then again, just bothering to ask for a raise can get you nowhere (or a knee in the groin).
