Today, a compilation study tell more about women’s efforts to achieve executive roles and three CEOs talk about why, how and what they did to outperform the competition.

Ladies first, so let’s start with the women. The ‘glass ceiling’ has been blamed for women’s inability to reach top executive levels, but a new study out of Harvard says that it’s more than that. Instead of one major barrier to hurdle, it’s a series of obstacles along the career path.

But women do make it. Women such as Dany Levy, founder of DailyCandy.com, who talks about managing, founding and running a company and the value of the “criticism sandwich — praise, constructive criticism, praise.”

Next A.G. Lafley, the storied CEO of a storied company—Procter & Gamble—talks about what a CEO does, no matter the business cycle.

Finally, meet Todd Wille, CEO of Unify Corp and the man the American Business Association named the best turnaround executive in 2008. Turnaround in 2008? Now, that’s saying something!
