In Good Company Workplaces Seeking Women Entrepreneurs' Leadership Best Practices

Monday, March 15, 2010 by Mark Harbeke

What is it about spring and a focus on women entrepreneurship?  Don't get me wrong, I'm not complaining – I think discussing business leadership by the gender that is most dominant in our country, most employed as adults, and, according to BusinessWeek, does more with less venture capital is a good thing.

Last April I blogged about the "flurry of press on the topic of women in business," and a similar flurry seems to be going on now.  In addition to the BusinessWeek article I mentioned above, this has been a hot topic of Reuters, USA Today, and even the U.S. State Department.

Among this press is a call by In Good Company Workplaces – a workspace, networking, and training provider led by two women – for female entrepreneurs to share their workplace culture stories and tips.  Adelaide Lancaster and Amy Abrams are gathering this feedback for a new book they're working on.

In Good Company has gathered a few comments so far on their blog.  You can add yours by clicking here.

It will be interesting to read their book when it's out and hopefully see more real-world evidence of the payoff of employee engagement.
