Leadership is changing – and women are leading the charge. Don Barden breaks down why female leadership is redefining success across industries (and why that's a very good thing). From boardrooms to startups, collaboration is replacing competition, empathy is replacing ego, and results are skyrocketing.

We unpack why female-led companies outperform, the "Goodyear & Firestone" moment every business faces before disruption, and how single moms might just be the ultimate CEOs. Don also flips the script on diversity, introducing DOI - Diversity of Opportunity and challenges every leader to build bridges, not barriers.
