Описание книги

An exciting new book exploring why we have not seen the enduring changes that were once optimistically anticipated. Each chapter tackles an important question around gender and leadership, such as 'Why do leader stereotypes emphasize masculinity?', 'Why are there so few women in top management positions?' and 'Why do (some) men in top management feel free to sexually harass women?'.  Leading international scholar in the field, Gary N. Powell explores cutting-edge topics including; the appropriate role of masculinity in leadership,  the ever-so-small numbers of female CEOs,  and sexual harassment by men in power such as Harvey Weinstein and the resulting #MeToo movement. With suggestions of practical steps that would work toward achieving a workplace in which all employees can reach their leadership potential regardless of their gender, Gender and Leadership is an important read for students and faculty members alike across the social sciences and humanities.

.....

The latter question is seldom addressed in the literature on the linkage between gender and leadership. However, I believe that it belongs in this book because it focuses on a type of behavior directed by mostly male leaders in positions with considerable power towards mostly lower-level female employees or job applicants with less power that is especially problematic, thereby rendering it a question pertaining to gender and leadership.

Chapter 6 serves as the concluding chapter of the book. It addresses the question, “What actions would work toward undoing the linkage between gender and leadership?” In raising this question, it responds to the notion that if social systems can become gendered or “do gender” (West & Zimmerman, 1987), they can also take steps toward “undoing gender” (Deutsch, 2007).
