Women leaders in many parts of the world have leadership
opportunities that never existed before as a result of technology,
globalization, and demographic shifts that have produced more
female graduates than in the past and created a workforce which
consists almost 50% of women. Ever more so, in today's rapidly
changing environment, the contexts in which women exercise
leadership is critically important in shaping their leadership
style. At the same time, objectifying women in contexts such as
sports and the media or the patriarchal ideology that permeates
contexts such as the military and the church have changed very
little. This book, updated and expanded from the 2011 first
edition, acknowledges and discusses the belief that the context in
which women exercise leadership is critically important in shaping
their leadership style. Each chapter opens with a vignette of an
extraordinary leader in the respective context, presents a
contextual analysis, and discusses issues, controversies and
paradoxes germane to the context of interest. What is the future of
women's leadership in a global environment characterized by
ambiguity, uncertainty, increasing interdependence and
interconnectivity? Award-winning author Karin Klenke shows us in
this revised edition of Women in Leadership.
