Abstract

The purpose of this chapter is to inspire women to smash through the glass ceiling to achieve gender equality globally. It debunks myths about women leaders. It differentiates between men’s and women’s leadership and their communication styles. It draws a blueprint for women to fast-track their careers by equipping them with soft skills, networking skills, and negotiation skills. It encourages to overcome queen bee syndrome and implores successful senior women leaders to handhold young and ambitious women leaders. It emphasizes work-life integration. It explains closing the gender pay gap with examples of countries including Iceland, Norway, Finland, Sweden, and Denmark. It advises humanizing brands with examples of global companies including Google, Apple, Facebook, Nike, Coca-Cola, South West Airlines, McDonald’s, and Starbucks. It reminds that cooperation between men and women is essential to build gender equality globally. It implores men to support women wholeheartedly to build a prosperous world. It calls upon women to smash through the glass ceiling. Women must not shy away from shouldering responsibilities. They must stay in the game by learning and leading. They must break structural obstacles; build knowledge, skills, and abilities; and network to fast-track their careers.
