Women as Global Leaders is the second volume in the new Women and
Leadership: Research, Theory, and Practice book series published
for the International Leadership Association by IAP. Global
leadership is an emerging area of research, with only a small but
growing published literature base. More specifically, the topic of
women's advances and adventures in leading within the global
context is barely covered in the existing leadership literature.
Although few women are serving in global leadership roles in
corporate and non-profit arenas, and as heads of nations, that
number is growing (e.g., Indira Nooyi at PepsiCo, Sheryl Sandberg
at Facebook, Marissa Mayer at Yahoo, Ellen Johnson Sirleaf as
president of Liberia, Angela Merkel as chancellor of Germany). The
purpose of this volume is to provide the reader with current
conceptualizations and theory related to women as global leaders,
recent empirical investigations of the phenomenon, analysis of
effective global leadership development programs, and portraits of
women who lead, or have led, in a global role. The volume is
divided into four sections. The first section covers the state of
women as global leaders, containing chapters by Joyce Osland and
Nancy Adler, pioneers in the field of global and/or women's
leadership. The second section describes approaches to women's
global leadership. The third section offers an analysis of programs
that are useful in developing women as global leaders, with the
final section profiling women as global leaders, including Margaret
Thatcher, Nobel Laureate Malala Yousfazai, and Golda Meir. As
Barbara Kellerman noted in the Foreword, "this book...should be
understood as a collection whose time has come, precisely because
women now have opportunities to lead that are far more expansive
than they were even in the recent past. Though their numbers remain
low, they are able in some cases to exercise leadership not only as
outsiders, but also as insiders, from the very positions of power
and authority to which men forever have had access."
