Women and Leadership

The book "Women and Leadership" offers a comprehensive analysis of the challenges faced by women in leadership positions. It combines empirical research findings with personal insights to illuminate the complex dynamics that influence the rise of women into leadership roles. The contributions come from various authors who address both new and familiar topics, including different leadership styles, mentoring, social entrepreneurship, and the resistance women encounter in positions of power. Through personal accounts, it paints a striking picture of the real challenges, including existing double standards and the specific hurdles that particularly women from minority backgrounds must overcome. The book also addresses legal aspects, such as the fight for pay equity and the conflicts between existing regulations in the education sector.
