Connected Leadership: Wisdom For Women Who Lead
For the women who are still here, still leading, still struggling through the web of gendered inequalities. You did everything right .... but the view from the top is bleak. You worked harder. Prepared more. Committed deeper. So why is your confidence and influence eroding?
Leadership is costing women their health, their relationships, their voice, and their sense of purpose. After thirty years of research, leadership experience, and coaching some of the top women leaders in New Zealand, Dr Sue Watson offers a solution: a way to lead without placating to workplace politics or gendered expectations.
Connected Leadership is a grounded, practical look at how women leaders can understand power, purpose, and influence beyond the systems designed to keep them out. Its about becoming more connected in every way. To your purpose, to your community, and to the impact you want to create.
At the heart of the book is a message deeply aligned with the work of Connected Leadership: that leadership is not meant to be done alone. It is shaped through wisdom, courage, connection, reflection, and the lived experience of women who lead in many different ways.
Author Dr Sue Watson is a long‑time leadership expert, former CEO, academic, and coach who founded Connected Leadership, an organisation supporting women leaders in New Zealand. Her work centres on purpose‑driven leadership, storytelling, and addressing gendered barriers in leadership.
