Flying can be—correction—is a stressful ordeal. Cue the long lines, people lugging around luggage bigger than they are, everyone trying to figure out where their assigned gate might reside, and then, of course, hoping your luggage actually arrives at the same destination as you. Even if you’re someone who only brings one small bag when taking flight, there’s no avoiding having to walk by, stand in line near, or even just sit in close quarters with people who are trying to fit an extra bag of who-knows-what into luggage that never should have made its way into an overhead bin in the first place.

Less than 10% of all television commercial directors at major ad agencies are female. Now, it should be said before we get deep into it that this notion doesn’t necessarily translate directly to “sexism.” More than that, this is just the way it’s been—for so, so many years. The industry is changing, though; there are thousands and thousands of woman-run ad firms out there. But the gender gap still exists, particularly in the woman-leadership capacity. Wonderfully, the industry is doing something about it. Here’s how.
Leadership is a gift, and with it comes great responsibility. For those of you in a leadership position, you may not always look at it as a gift, per-se. Being in a leadership position is hard—it bestows upon you a great deal of stress, and can often lead to frustration, and at times, the feeling that someone else would be better off for the job. But that’s just not true. There’s a reason that you’re in a leadership position. Below are 10 fundamental principles of leadership.
