A Dynamic Look At How Women Around The World Are Creating Change And Opportunity Through Business. CONSIDER THESE STATISTICS: * WOMEN DO ABOUT 66% OF THE WORLD'S WORK BUT EARN ONLY 10% OF THE WORLD'S INCOME. * WOMEN PRODUCE 50% OF THE WORLD'S FOOD BUT OWN JUST 1% OF ITS FARMLAND. * OF THOSE LIVING IN EXTREME POVERTY, 60% ARE WOMEN AND GIRLS. * NEARLY 55% OF CHILDREN WHO DO NOT ATTEND SCHOOL ARE GIRLS. Although these statistics demonstrate the unfair burden that women carry, they are also an indication of the opportunity for change that exists. In LEADING WITH CARE, management expert Mary Cantando examines the stories of trailblazing women in the developing world who, with help from the nonprofit organization CARE, have capitalized on personal and professional opportunities on the road to establishing self-sufficiency. As their stories reveal, through CARE, women around the world have overcome adversity to build new businesses, improve their health, prioritize education, and foster change in their communities. But adversity can be found in every area of the world, and the book also includes the unique stories of top female executives who have similarly taken control of their lives, risen above their hardscrabble beginnings, and sought to give back locally and globally. Featuring new interviews from leaders at major global organizations such as Procter & Gamble, the Women's National Basketball Association, Intercontinental Hotels Group, the General Mills Foundation, and Meredith Publishing Group, among many others, this book offers a look at how women around the world are not only inspiring but creating change. Cantando then maps out how readers can apply the lessons and best practices of these women in their own companies, whether they're C-suite executives at multinational corporations or run part-time businesses out of their home. In an ever-shifting world, CARE's message is timeless. LEADING WITH CARE shows how CARE's proven approach to building self-sufficiency, in any economy, in any nation, gives us all hope and the power to create our own secure futures. CARE fights root causes of poverty in the world's poorest communities. CARE places special focus on working alongside poor women because, equipped with the proper resources, women have the power to help whole families and entire communities escape poverty. In more than 65 countries, women are at the heart of CARE's community-based efforts to improve education, health, and economic opportunity. Each year, CARE helps tens of millions of people around the world effect real, positive changes in their lives.
