An impactful and inspiring leadership perspective!
I just finished reading Taking Up Space… It’s fantastic and I highly recommend it!
Karen does a great job weaving together components of her personal and professional life, highlighting obstacles she’s had to overcome and people/events that shaped not only her career, but who she is as a person.
She talks about the importance of community and being authentic & compassionate. She calls out situations she wished she handled better. Nobody is perfect, but many leaders never admit to their mistakes…this ties back to authenticity.
There are many other great tips about leading…like being direct and putting the moose on the table (you’ll know what I mean when you read it!).
Her message includes good reminders about the challenges women may experience as they aspire to earn more responsibility and develop their careers…hence the title of the book. Her stories and advice will certainly help all leaders. And to make sure you do not miss any key points, each chapter ends with a “Remember This” callout box.
All in all, her book is an impactful and inspiring leadership perspective/manual from the top woman in business today! Highly recommend!
