In the May 8, 2015 edition of "bizwomen" there is an interesting
article concerning business advice. The article details wisdom four
successful women recall receiving from their mother.
One of those gems of wisdom struck me as particularly
insightful—"success isn't measured in titles, rather, it's what you do
with your title."
A dear friend and fellow Marine Colonel and I had a similar exchange
of ideas, that too often, leading is confused with having a title. And
many effective leaders do not have a title. Sadly, too many women fall
into the category of being the effective leader without a title.
I recommend reading the bizwomen article "4 female execs share business lessons they learned from their mothers."
I am confident you will find it engaging. Think about the advice you
have received. More importantly, I recommend putting the advice to work.
