Leadership is a lot of hard work. I hoped, when I was younger, that I would just be a natural leader or that it was something that was innate, but it is really a learned skill. Sallie Krawcheck Read Quote
One of my passions is women in business and helping women to get ahead in business. For women, that feedback loop can be broken. Women won’t get as much feedback from male bosses as men will get. Therefore, they have to make an extra effort, whether that is unfortunate, good, bad, indifferent. Sallie Krawcheck Read Quote
My advice for folks on networking is give, give, give. You will later receive. But you are really planting these seeds. Some of them will die, and they won’t become anything. Many of them will take many, many years before they pay off for you if at all. Sallie Krawcheck Read Quote

We haven’t always been aware of it, but the ‘locker-room bro talk’ has long been going on not just in locker rooms but in some corporate conference rooms. Of course, not by all men.

Ask any woman who has gone through a divorce and had her standard of living decline substantially. Ask any woman who’s been fired or ‘reorg’ed out’ and had to scramble to take a job she didn’t want. Ask any woman who wanted to quit a job but couldn’t afford to. Investing is possibly the best career advice women aren’t getting. Sallie Krawcheck Read Quote
Somehow, there is this feeling that women require remedial financial education, and so everything must be dumbed down. The reality is that we all need a lot more education, but guys just go ahead and invest anyway. Sallie Krawcheck Read Quote
In the old world of business, there was often just one seat at the leadership table for women, two at best. That meant that only so many women could advance. But in a world where women recognize the power that they own – and where technology can upend the traditional rules of engagement – one woman winning doesn’t mean another loses.

If you are a senior woman in business, you intuitively know two things: If a white man promotes a woman or a person of color, he gets credit for it. If a woman says great things about a woman, you get dinged for it. Research is clear on this. Sallie Krawcheck Read Quote
If you are going to fire this person or hire that person, do it all in a concentrated period. The Band-Aid gets ripped off, and everybody goes back to work. Sallie Krawcheck Read Quote
