Leading By Example Can Still Be Powerful

Leading by example, as in the case of Queen Elizabeth II who was no shrinking violet, can still be powerful, "and every time women or nontraditional people do something that's that important and visible, it changes our sense of who gets those jobs," says Kim Campbell, a former prime minister of Canada and the first and only woman to ever lead that country.

Queen Elizabeth II, who died 9/8/22 at age 96, was the longest-reigning woman in history and a role model for many female leaders. Her work and approach to the role has already influenced many women in politics (and in business), and some of the politicians shared how she has inspired their work throughout the years.
