A Little Cliche, Not Everything Tied to Female Leadership

Audiobook Review:
As a female, I love the idea of having more female leaders, so when I saw this book on a review site, I thought I'd check it out. I found myself underwhelmed. The book was not organized as well as it should be; the chapters did not have a logical flow. Not every topic discussed was tied back to the idea of female leadership. Topics included leadership styles (very generic), emotional intelligence, and hard and soft business skills. Some of what was discussed felt too cliche. I also wished that the author discussed not only women who are in leadership positions but women who want to be but struggle against the glass ceiling. I don't think that was touched upon at all, yet it is so important when thinking about women in leadership. I think I enjoyed the quotes from female leaders scattered throughout the book the most. There are some great ones from Madeleine Albright, Melinda Gates, Sonia Sotomayor, and Senator Elizabeth Warren. My favorite quote was, “If you’re not at the table, you’re on the menu.” I wasn't wild about the narrator for this audiobook. She mispronounced several words, like saying “steed” instead of “stead” and not saying the word “orator” correctly. I doubt this was the narrator's fault, as it was probably the author's, but every time the word should have been “qualitative,” the non-word “qualitive” was said instead. It was used a lot, so it really got on my nerves. This is a super important topic, but there are certainly better books out there about it.

I received a promo code for this audiobook, but that did not affect my review.

Women in leadership can find themselves in a frustrating position. Speak confidently and you're considered difficult; stay quiet and you're told you need to be more assertive. She's Meant to Lead addresses that contradiction while focusing less on everything that's wrong with the workplace and more on what women can actually do within it.

I liked the breakdown of 14 different leadership styles because it reinforces that there isn't one personality you have to adopt to be an effective leader. The sections on communication, emotional intelligence, imposter syndrome, and advocating for yourself are especially practical for women who may already be capable leaders but still second-guess whether they belong in the room.

Another thing I appreciated is that the book doesn't ignore stress and burnout. Leadership isn't particularly useful if you're running yourself into the ground trying to prove you deserve the position, so including boundaries, work-life balance, and self-care makes sense.

There are plenty of strategies here that can be applied whether you're already managing people or simply trying to grow professionally. The message that stayed with me is a simple one: becoming a stronger leader doesn't require becoming someone else. Sometimes it means recognizing the strengths you've already been bringing to the table.

This book could inspire young girls who dream of becoming true leaders and need to realize all the potential that they have. We still live in a world in which there are, unfortunately, gender gaps, and sometimes women need to work to get to the position they deserve. The author did a brilliant job sharing stories about important female leaders through history and the challenges they faced, advice on how to overcome fear and self-doubt, the essential skills that leaders needor even how to set the right example in a role of leadership.

The book provides examples of female leaders and their success, as well as the types of leadership such as The Coach and The Pacesetter. Not all of the leadership types are good, and this helps show what's ideal for the reader. Though, The Transformational Leader is recommended. The book also provides advice on how to improve self-esteem and understanding effective communication as a female leader.


I received a free copy of this book via Booksprout and am voluntarily leaving a review.

The book connects confidence with actual leadership skills: communication, emotional intelligence, resilience, and understanding how you affect the people around you. It isn't simply a pep talk about believing in yourself. It gives you a reason to examine what you're already capable of and where you can become a stronger leader.
