Intentioning

More about the book

In the wake of two pandemics that exposed deep cultural fault lines, this book explores how to seize the unique opportunity for recovery by placing women at the forefront. Through women's stories, it offers a fresh set of leadership tools that empower women to achieve their highest intentions, fostering new norms and guiding institutions toward gender and racial parity. Gloria Feldt, a New York Times best-selling author and feminist icon, encourages all women—regardless of diversity or intersectionality—to embrace their collective power and lead with intention, confidence, and joy. Readers praise the book for its master class on channeling power with intention, emphasizing that disruption without intention leads to chaos. Unlike many books that simply instruct women on success, it encourages authenticity and appreciation of unique powers of intention. Feldt shares nine actionable Leadership Intentioning Tools, accompanied by practice exercises, designed to cultivate equitable organizations and a better world for all. The tools include uncovering personal strengths, dreaming big, believing in collaborative success, managing self-doubt, balancing priorities, building relationships, challenging norms, addressing implicit bias, and creating meaningful narratives. The book also highlights how men can partner with women to achieve parity, making it a comprehensive guide for inclusive leadership in today's world.
