Although some progress has been made in recent decades in getting
women into top positions in government, business and education,
there are persisting challenges with efforts to improve
opportunities for women in leadership. This essential second
edition of the Handbook of Research on Gender and Leadership
comprises the latest research from the world’s foremost scholars
on women and leadership, exposing problems and offering both
theoretical and practical solutions on strengthening the impact of
women worldwide. This thoroughly-revised Handbook provides a brief
overview of the current position of women in leadership, explores
theories (both established and emerging) focused specifically on
women, and examines with both theoretical and empirical research
some of the factors that influence women’s motivations to lead.
Updated chapters provide a much-needed focus on intersectionality
and illustrate nuanced research frameworks. They delineate some of
the most persistent barriers to women’s leadership success and
conclude with contemporary findings on how best to develop women
leaders to improve their status worldwide. The Handbook of Research
on Gender and Leadership will appeal to scholars and advanced
students in leadership and entrepreneurship. It will be essential
reading for leadership coaches, practitioners and business people,
particularly those who facilitate leadership programs for women.

Women and Leadership around the World is the third volume in a new
series of books (Women and Leadership: Research, Theory, and
Practice) that will is now being published to inform leadership
scholars and practitioners. The purpose of this volume is to
explore areas of women's leadership in four regions around the
world: the Middle East, Europe, North America, and Asia Pacific.
Hence, we have included 14 chapters that cover a wide range of
important topics relevant to women and leadership within specific
contexts around the world. Our goal for this volume is to provide
readers with explorations of women's experiences as leaders,
including recent research studies, analysis and interpretation of
statistics unpacking the status of women in various sectors and
countries, stories of influential women leaders with national or
local spheres of influence, and including recommendations for
positive change to increase women's access to positions of
authority. The volume contributors use various theories
andconceptualizations to problematize, historicize, and analyze
women's limited access to power, and their agency as leaders from
the grassroots to the national scene, from education to non-profits
and business organizations. Overall, the book contributes
interpretations of the status of women in various countries,
presenting the stories behind the numbers and statistics and
uncovering not only challenges but also opportunities for
resiliency and effectiveness as leaders. The authors offer
recommendations for change that cross national boundaries, such as
structural changes in organizations that would open the door for
more women to access positions of authority and be effective as
leaders. It is rare to find a book with such a diverse array of
topics and countries, making this a timely contribution to the
literature on women and leadership. The authors remind us to
continue to expand the literature base on women and leadership,
drawing from both qualitative and quantitative studies as well as
conceptual explorations of women as leaders in different countries,
regions, indigenous communities, and across different sectors. The
more we know, the better informed will be our efforts to create
appropriate leadership development activities and experiences for
emerging women leaders and girls around the world. This book
contributes significantly to that very effort.

Women and Leadership in Higher Education is the first volume in a
new series of books (Women and Leadership: Research, Theory, and
Practice) that will be published in upcoming years to inform
leadership scholars and practitioners. This book links theory,
research, and practice of women's leadership in various higher
education contexts and offers suggestions for future leadership
development strategies. This volume focuses on the field of higher
education, particularly within the context of the United States-a
sector that serves a majority of students at all degree levels who
are women, yet lacks parity by women in senior leadership roles.
The book's fifteen chapters present both hard facts regarding the
current demographic realities within higher education and fresh
thinking about how progress can and must be made in order for U.S.
higher education to benefit from the perspectives of women at the
senior leadership table. The book's opening section provides data
and analysis in addressing "The State of Women and Leadership in
Higher Education"; the second section offers descriptions of three
effective models for women's leadership development at the national
and institutional levels; the third section draws from recent
research to present "Women's Experiences and Contributions in
Higher Education Leadership." The book concludes with five shorter
chapters written by current and former college and university
presidents who offer "Lessons from the Trenches" for the benefit of
those who follow. In short, the thesis of the book is that our
world is changing; higher education collectively, as well as
institutions of all types, must change. Bringing more women into
leadership is critical to the goal of moving our society and world
forward in healthier ways.
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."

Developing Leadership is a groundbreaking book that focuses on the
lifetime development of ten strong, competent, and fascinating
women governors. This one of a kind book shares the commonalities
and perspectives of ten women on their own personal journeys in
developing leadership throughout childhood, youth, young adulthood,
and adulthood. These ten women reflect a journey shared, in part,
by all leaders. Based on years of research, Developing Leadership
provides a profile of each governor and then an analysis of the
data gathered from extensive interviews with each of these women.
It shows how they were able to develop the skills and abilities
throughout their lives to become the leaders they became. If we are
truly interested in figuring out how to develop strong, competent
leaders for the future, then we must look at those who have
succeeded in the past and those who are succeeding now. This book
provides a blueprint for any woman who wants to learn to lead.
