While women make up half the population, women are underrepresented in leadership roles at large organizations. According to research, women face challenges when leading teams  that men do not, including many stereotypes about leadership style. But, as social mores change, traits often associated with femininity like empathy may become more a part of leadership.

Dr. Nicole Price is the author of Spark the Heart, Engineering Empathy In Your Organization, which will be released in April. She also is the CEO of Lively Paradox, a professional coaching business that focuses on practicing empathy in leadership. She joined the podcast to discuss how traits associated with women can help shape organizations and leadership.
