The lack of women on boards has galvanised much public and policy
interest, which has led to many countries introducing quotas for
women on boards, or to concerted voluntary action. However the way
that directors are appointed remains opaque and prone to the
influence of gender. Using a social constructionist understanding
of gender and a discourse analysis, Gender and Corporate Boards
explores the board appointment process through the experiences of
women and men seeking non-executive board roles. The book is unique
in that it traces board-ready candidates, who have been vetted by
an executive search firm, over an 18-month period. By taking a
longitudinal and prospective view rather than retrospective and
snapshot, it provides deep analysis of how the board appointment
process is gendered. This volume privileges the voices of those who
are seeking board roles to show how they make sense of an
unpredictable and complex process. Gender and Corporate Boards
first analyses how aspirant board candidates see themselves in
relation to the market, through exploring their perceptions of the
ideal board member and how they position themselves towards this
ideal. Second, the book shows how candidates must leverage their
networks to get board appointments, and that the process is
gendered: women and men receive different benefits from their
networks. Third, the book explores how the participants make sense
of success and failure and how their justifications are also
gendered. The book will be of interest to those seeking to
understand dynamics of gender on boards as well as those interested
in gender and leadership more broadly.
