Casey:
What is Total Leadership?
Friedman:
Total means whole, and leadership means creating sustainable change. The purpose of Total Leadership is improving performance in all areas of life by creating mutual value among them, and doing so in a way that works for the most important people in each of the different parts. I call this pursuing a “four-way win”— a benefit for work, home, community, and self. This model is built on my earlier work, which emphasized a non-zero sum approach to the relationship between work and the rest of life.

By Shirley Clark and Patricia Reed, Co-Founders, Choose 2 Lead

Choose 2 Lead Women’s Foundation recently completed a study sponsored by the Sloan Foundation on the adequacy of information available for older workers (defined as age 50 and above) seeking job or career flexibility. Over 100 people participated in the qualitative study, which took place in the Washington D.C. metropolitan area. Participants in the study were selected through various means to ensure social and economic diversity as well as diversity in experience, education and skill levels.
