There are a number of things that have come together recently to inspire me to write this personal leadership post. I think that it is important for strong woman in leadership roles to act as mentor to boys as well as girls. This is an AND statement, not a BUT statement. I really do believe in the work that women these days are doing to encourage girls to enter into the technology field and for woman to embrace technology leadership roles. I believe in ADDITION to that it’s important for us to do things to change the mindset of young men so that they accept us in these positions in order to prepare them for the future date when they are business owners, hiring managers, customers and staff.
