Is there a difference when it comes to men and women’s leadership styles? Why does it matter to have women leaders?

We began our evening asking these very questions during Opt-In Project’s first East Coast appearance in Washington, D.C. The program, our third roundtable discussion, asked men and women in the public and private sectors to discuss how to advance more women into leadership positions and outline the case for creating more women leaders. This episode we feature a recap of the event.

The program, "Women in Charge: Making a Difference," featured Sanyin Siang, Managing Director of the Center on Leadership and Ethics at Duke's Fuqua School of Business and Kimberly Jenkins, former head and founder of Microsoft Corporation's education division. In addition to her work with Microsoft, Kimberly also ran The Internet Policy Institute and is the current executive-in-residence at Duke University. Hear what they have to say about the importance of having women in positions of power and leadership and their response to some of the questions that were brought up during the evening.
