Celebrating Female Leaders in 2021

Here at Lead Read Today, we’re eager to celebrate Women’s History Month and International Women's Day — through the lens of leadership research, of course. That’s our specialty.

After all, what do studies say about women and leadership? Certainly, evidence-based discussions are critical when having a robust discussion about female influence in our society and their roles as leaders.

We urge you to scroll through the following list of articles and find some that connect with you personally. Perhaps they can help you answer a curiosity you’ve always had. Maybe you find something you then feel compelled to share with a friend.

You’ll see we’ve divided up the articles into two different sections. Hopefully this can help you more quickly narrow the selections on which ones you may be particularly interested in reading and sharing.

Here we go….
