Close-up: An introduction

In effort to see what sets apart women leaders from the rest of the pack, I will write a series of "close-ups" about some of the most influential women leaders in the world.
What makes them unique? What motivates them? Do they have families? Do they take the thougher masculine approach or did they use a softer female touch? How did they reach the top and did they ever feel held back by the glass ceiling? These and many other questions will be explored in this series of portraits of influential women leaders.
I hope that this series can be an inspiration for other women who look to achieve greatness in business. And for men it can offer a glimpse into the mysterious and diverse world of female bosses.
