Love Wins: Dr. Don Barden on Why Women Running the World Is Already Inevitable

from Pretty Powerful Podcast with Angela Gennari · host Angela Gennari

What if the biggest economic revolution in history is already underway... and women are leading it? In this landmark episode, Angela Gennari sits down with Dr. Don Barden... globally recognized behavioral economist, leadership expert, and author of the #1 Amazon bestseller Here Come the Girls — for a conversation that is part data, part revelation, and completely unmissable. Dr. Barden spent nearly five years conducting doctoral-level research on women in leadership around the world. What he found will change the way you see business, culture, and your own future. In this episode you'll discover: — Why women-led businesses outperform male-led businesses 3-to-1 in revenue and profit — The three-step leadership formula female executives use that men almost never do (sympathy → empathy → empowerment) — Why 94% of employees who bring a problem to their boss already know how to solve it — and what happens when leaders trust that — The science behind why your energy arrives before you do (and lingers after you leave) — Why women-led businesses have double the employee retention — and why productivity actually goes UP in years 4, 5, and 6 — How collaboration is replacing mergers and acquisitions — and why women are driving that shift — Dr. Barden's bold forecast: a coming economic boom bigger than the agricultural, industrial, and dot-com revolutions combined Plus — Dr. Barden is offering free e-copies of both The Perfect Plan and Here Come the Girls to anyone who reaches out and mentions this podcast. This is the first time Angela has ever featured a man on the Pretty Powerful Podcast — and after this episode, you'll understand exactly why she made an exception.
