Summary
"What can organizational leaders in business, education, government, and most any enterprise learn from an unemployed, unmarried woman who lived in patriarchal, misogynistic rural England more than 200 years ago? As it turns out, a great deal. In identifying the core virtues of Austen's heroines-confidence, integrity, humility, playfulness, pragmatism, and diligence-Andrea Kayne uncovers the six principles of internally referenced leadership. Utilizing practical exercises, real-life case studies, and literary and leadership scholarship, Kicking Ass in a Corset is a road map for effective leadership that teaches readers of any age or profession how to tune out the external noise and listen to themselves"-- Provided by publisher.
