Beschrijving:
Although women continue to make up only a small minority of CEOs and board members at major companies, there has been a marked increase in the number of female business leaders in recent years. Nowhere is that more evident than among Berkshire Hathaway's holdings, and The Women of Berkshire Hathaway: Lessons from Warren Buffett's Female CEOs and Directors presents an in-depth look at the women who have risen to the top in a decidedly male-centric industry.

An influx of female leadership over the past few years has invigorated Berkshire Hathaway with new energy and refreshing insights. The Women of Berkshire Hathaway offers a unique look into the lives of these remarkable individuals, as well as a valuable overview of the changing role of women in big business today.

Bringing together the trials and successes of Berkshire's four female CEOs¿up from just one a decade ago¿and five other incredible women who have profoundly shaped the company's success through their hard work and business savvy, this collection of stories spans generations, nations, and industries. From Rose Blumkin, who left Eastern Europe for America in 1917 and later founded the legendary Nebraska Furniture Mart, to Susan Decker, the youngest member of Berkshire's board of directors in the company's history, the book tells the tales of some of the business world's greatest pioneers.

Following the diverse, difficult paths these women took to become pillars of the business community, the book is a truly inspirational read. Exploring how they worked with Buffett himself, how they balanced their personal and professional lives, and how slowly but surely they worked to shatter the glass ceiling, The Women of Berkshire Hathaway is an amazing insight into the wisdom and bravery of nine women who refused to let the status quo get in the way of their success.
