""Don't call me a celebrity CEO. I'm not a celebrity CEO. I'm a CEO that's done so well that you know my name.""
""You need everybody along the way, and I think that that understanding, that empathy, makes me a good leader. My team knows that I know what it takes, I know what they're doing, and I have an appreciation for what everyone brings to the organization.""
""Rather than add to the 'I do it all' rhetoric, I talk candidly about trade-offs. I don't take my kids to school every morning or see my friends as often as I'd like, and I want readers to understand that my version of success comes with real sacrifices.""
Emma Grede, a successful entrepreneur and investor, rejects the label of 'celebrity CEO,' asserting her accomplishments stem from hard work. With a net worth of $405 million, she has extensive experience in various roles, shaping her leadership style. Grede's new book, 'Start with Yourself: A New Vision for Work and Life,' addresses the unrealistic standards women face and the sacrifices required for success. She candidly shares her own trade-offs, including limited time with family and friends, to highlight the complexities of achieving work-life balance.
