Susan Colantuono's Speech Analysis

Decent Essays
Susan Colantuono is a leadership experts that focused her speech on why there are many women at the mid management level but very few women at the top management level. She advises there are three elements to leadership and that the first is personal greatness but it is not the most important. The speaker was not very engaging to me but she did have a valid point. Her technique of a flow chart to show women why they haven’t made it to CEO level made me tune out a bit. I selected this speech because it was directed towards women and to make sure they have better success in the business world. I did learn that most women do not make it to the top as often as men because women are taught to learn confidence before they are taught the business
