Providing an overview of currentdebates, they examine the extent to which traditional understandings ofleadership exclude women's experiences. Using vivid examples from their research, Valerie Stead andCarole Elliott show that gender matters.Women's leadership is influenced by a series of relationshipsthat result in women leaders being perceived and treated differently to men. This leads to women finding alternative ways of learning leadership to enable them to deal with barriers at work. The bookconcludes with a sample women's leadership development workshop. This book will appeal to researchers and students who are looking for a critical and up-to-date analysis of women's leadership and is also designed to be helpful for leadership development practitioners who are seeking ways to work with anddevelop women leaders at different stages of their career.

520 $a "This volume is distinctive because it explores different concepts of leadership, seeks to challenge traditional concepts, and to explode common myths. In contrast to the traditional male, hierarchical, value free and organisational bound construction of leadership, this text presents an alternative construction that is female, non-hierarchical and underpinned and driven by values, rooted in community and beyond the boundaries of traditional organizations. This volume uses examples from research with leading women to portray that leadership is not a floating or external concept, but hastangible, social, cultural and political roots and anchors"--Provided by publisher.
