The spiritual texts are abound with extraordinary women. This week Hatoon Alfassi, Amany Lubis, Ani Choying Drolma and Juliette Neuberger reinforce the message from Islam, Judaism and Buddhism. The women they tell the stories of were extraordinary leaders, in many cases with hidden and unrecognised leadership skills. They had compassion and they never gave up to despair. They knew they were equal to men and were often sad about the fragility of men.
The approach to leadership that resonates with women must shout their stories and insights, loud and clear. They are an inspiration to us all.
