To be successful in the 21st century leaders and organizations will need to embrace âfeminine valuesâ says John Gerzema. co-author of The Athena Doctrine: How Women (and the Men who Think Like Them) Will Rule the Future when he ioins Té Revesz, host of Global Reach: Winning in World Markets on the VoiceAmerica Radio Networkâs Business Channel, (http://www.voiceamerica.com/show/1984/global-reach) on Thursday, 1 May at 11 AM Pacific Time.
Based on a survey across 13 countries accounting for 65% of Global GDP, Germzema explores why the vast majority of their 64,000 respondents see the keys to 21st century success as competencies widely held to be feminine: selflessness, collaboration, candor, empathy, emotiveness. Traits associated with Athena, goddess of wisdom. He will talk about why 66% of the survey respondents think the world would be a better place if men thought more like women.
In a world that has grown increasingly interdependent, social and transparent, heâll explore how an Athena business differs in the way it interacts with customers and communities, manages employees and earns profits. And in a world that grown increasingly mistrustful of arrogant institutions heâll also look how Athena governments manage to serve all constituencies.
How do the survey findings translate into real-world experience? Gerzema will share surprising examples from interviews with 150 leaders & innovators in 18 countries that can help guide companies in charting a future course. How can Athena principles change the global growth paradigm? How can embracing Athena capabilities help companies win in the world marketplace?
Tom Peters says, âThe Athena Doctrine is a powerful book. Extraordinary research. Great storytelling. A message both timely and of monumental importance.â.
