Play Your Own Game, Woman!

At the EY World Entrepreneur of the Year event this week, businesswoman and writer Margaret Heffernan spoke about the moment in her career when she realised she had been playing a game designed by, and for, men.

I realised that all I’d learned [in my career] was to be tough,” she said. “Did I want my kids to think, ‘she was tough’? It didn’t seem like such a great idea anymore. ‘You’re an idiot’, I thought, ‘you played [a man’s] game and you should have played your own’. Then I realised, I didn’t have one.”
