Finding female role models and women leaders in the business world is critical for our success as women. Seriously. Watching what successful women CEOs do and how they handle themselves, their families and their professional lives can teach us about how to succeed ourselves. Girl Scouts CEO, Anna Maria Chávez, is a woman we can get behind since we love a good female CEO, especially one who’s Latina. She tells Parade, “Instead of teaching me how to cook, my mother taught my brothers how to cook, and me how to run a board meeting. She was an elected official, and she used to take me to meetings so I could see how leadership played out.”
