""For nearly three decades, I had the honor of serving with the highest performing team on the planet. I learned that the people I lead have a vote in what they do and how well they do it. Leaders cannot treat their people like equipment. They must have a profound connection with those in their charge. Maureen Electa Monte accomplishes this goal with a robust process that should be followed by anyone seeking to get the most out of their teams."" --Shane McKenzie, U.S. Navy SEAL Master Chief (Ret) ""Win Like a Girl neatly lays out deep truths around what it means to be a strong leader in service of some of the most vulnerable members of society: girls.

When his behavior continued, she (at age 13) threw him out of the game.She went on to become MVP of her basketball team and Engineer of the Year for IBM. Often the only female consultant in the room, she fiercely advocated for her ideas and solutions and coached other women on how to do the same.When Maureen began delivering leadership training to sports teams, she realized that even super competent high school, college, and Olympic female athletes suffered from low confidence.
