How have women managed to break through the glass ceiling of the
business world, and what management techniques do they employ once
they ascend to the upper echelons of power? What difficult
situations have these female business leaders faced, and what
strategies have they used to resolve those challenges? Junctures in
Women's Leadership: Business answers these questions by
highlighting the professional accomplishments of twelve remarkable
women and examining how they responded to critical leadership
challenges. Some of the figures profiled in the book are household
names, including lifestyle maven Martha Stewart, influential chef
Alice Waters, and trailblazing African-American entrepreneur Madame
C.J. Walker. Others have spent less time in the public eye, such as
Johnson & Johnson executive JoAnn Heffernan Heisen, Verizon
Senior Vice President Diane McCarthy, Wells Fargo technology leader
Avid Modjtabai, Xerox CEO Ursula Barns, Spanx founder Sara Blakely,
inventor Jane ni Dhulchaointigh, engineering firm President
Roseline Marston, Calvert Investments President and CEO Barbara
Krumsiek, and Merrill Lynch executive Subha Barry. These women,
from diverse backgrounds, have played important roles in their
respective corporations and many have worked to improve the climate
for women in male-dominated industries. This is a book about women
who are leading change in business. Their stories illuminate the
ways women are using their power and positions - whether from the
middle ranks or the top, whether from within companies or by
creating their own companies. Each case study in Junctures in
Women's Leadership: Business includes a compelling and instructive
story of how a woman business leader handled a critical juncture or
crisis in her career. Not only does the book offer an inspiring
composite portrait of women succeeding in the business world, it
also provides leadership lessons that will benefit readers
regardless of gender.
