Achieving Mastery by Not Trying to Be Great at Everything

Despite the enduring myth of the “superwoman,” it is increasingly evident that individuals achieve mastery and meaning by investing deeply in a few important aspects of their lives, not by trying to be great at everything.

When women determine their personal ideas of success and happiness, they are growing more comfortable making the decisions that need to be made to achieve them.

In a nutshell, women who are pushing back against perfection are the ones getting ahead.

These trade-offs not only help women live more fulfilling lives; they also prepare women to make necessary trade-offs within the organizations they lead.

In business, as in life, leaders who are willing to make strategic trade-offs are the ones who build truly outstanding organizations. Counter-intuitively, what distinguishes these leaders is not their ambition to be great, but their courage to be bad.

We encourage you to register even if you are unable to attend live; you’ll receive replay information following the event.
