The CEO of KPMG reveals how she reached the top, and why women leaders need to stop being pressured to act like men

From Business Insider authored by Anna Mazarakis and Alyson Shontell:

“Lynne Doughtie has spent her entire career working her way up the ladder at one company. And she’s found real success.

In 2015, Doughtie became the first female chairman and CEO of KPMG, one of the big four professional services companies that other companies hire to do things like accounting and auditing.

But she found it can be hard to be one of the only women at the top of a big company.

“We need to kind of break down these myths of a woman’s approach is the wrong one, and she should be acting more like a man,” Doughtie said in an interview for Business Insider’s podcast, “Success! How I Did It.” “We should think about how do we as business leaders embrace the differences of all people and advance the careers of all.”

On this episode, Doughtie discusses what it was like to be one of the few female CEOs at the World Economic Forum in Davos, Switzerland, how she bounced back after not making partner as an auditor, and her love for accounting.”
