Leading Mothers

The path back from motherhood to work is not easy – every mother who has experienced this situation knows that. A promotion as a mother is even harder. This often has less to do with the children who suddenly influence life, and more with society and the working world. Parental leave and motherhood are still seen as a "black hole in a resume," often not recognized by employers for what they truly are: the most demanding training for leaders one can choose. In a relatable and competent manner, Anette Lippert honestly and understandably explains, using five "building blocks" with examples from family and business life, which essential leadership skills mothers acquire and why they are valuable to any company. The book provides a long-overdue translation for women who may not yet recognize their own competencies, but also for their surroundings.
