SynopsisMuch has been written about equal opportunity issues but little has been published about how organisations might provide more structure and support to ensure women's progress to the most senior business levels. This book looks at the career experiences of a group of women managers and consider what helps, and what still hinders their progress., In the late 1990s there was only a handful of women at senior levels of business. This was true throughout the world. Now, more than a decade later, there are still too few women at the top of organisations. This book considers why progress has been slow and offers suggestions and ideas to encourage change. Written by experts from a leading business school, Viki Holton and Fiona Elsa Dent consider the key issues which need to be addressed and offer practical advice to help individual women plan their careers and review their leadership style. The book is also written to help organisations. It's not enough simply to review HR and company policies; more employers need to challenge outdated and old-fashioned stereotypes about women and their style of leadership. This book shares the experience of over 1,400 women and offers insights which will be of use to both individuals and organisations alike., Much has been written about equal opportunity issues but little has been published about how organisations might provide more structure and support to ensure women's progress to the most senior business levels. This book looks at the career experiences of a group of women managers and consider what helps, and what still hinders their progress.
