"If you want things done..." Leadership Lessons from Courageous Women. Nikki Haley

What do the prime minister, the athlete, the human rights activist, and the spy have in common? They all had to act in conditions that required extraordinary effort. And they all changed the world. In this book, Nikki Haley, who herself went from being an outsider and “too young” to being a U.S. ambassador to the UN and a presidential candidate, shares ten stories of women whose determination rewrote history.

Each chapter is a leadership lesson crystallized from the experience of a particular woman. Thatcher teaches you to fight for principles, Murad to be stronger than painful experiences (even if it is sexual slavery in the 21st century), Earhart to prove her strength in the sky, and Colvin to stand, or rather sit, for what is right.

The focus is not only on biography, but also on the values ​​that help you act when it is scary, difficult, and lonely. Haley also shares many of her own stories, not for comparison, but to show how the experiences of prominent people have influenced her life.
