The Female Vision: Women’s Real Power at Work

In The Female Vision, Sally and co-author Julie Johnson draw on multiple strands of research to identify the elements that comprise women’s ways of seeing.

Women see the world through a distinctive lens. What they see is defined by what they notice, what they value, and how they connect the dots. The Female Vision was the first book to explore the nature and power of how women see. And to show how women and their organizations can benefit from this power.

These include:

• Women’s capacity for broad spectrum and radar-like notice
• Women’s skill at putting information into a broader social context
• Women’s emphasis on day-to-day satisfaction in their work

The Female Vision also sets forth specific ways in which women can use their vision to tap their strategic leadership power.

These include:

• Telling a clear and concise story about the value of you see
• Enlisting allies based on the power of what you notice
• Being present for what you value and want to contribute

The Female Vision is both an unprecedented work of research and a practical handbook for women eager to act on their greatest strengths. Organizations seeking to attract, retain and engage talented women will find it invaluable.
