Authors Kathryn Heath, Jill Flynn, Mary Davis Holt, and Diana
Faison make success far less complex, helping women overcome
entrenched resistance to their ideas, create their own access
points to power, and attract followers in a way that works for
them. They present tools such as Influence Loops (to organically
increase influence), Personal Scaffolding (to grow a groundswell of
support), and Scenario Thinking (a savvy twist on strategic
planning). These and other smart strategies finally allow women to
succeed on their own terms.
