Gender and Leadership

Gary Powell s new book explores gender and leadership by asking all of the tough questions and providing answers based on state-of-the-art theory and evidence.  Readers can enjoy his thorough and insightful analyses of key questions ranging from, Why do leader stereotypes emphasize masculinity? to Is there a female advantage or disadvantage in leadership? to How can we undo the linkage between leadership and gender? There is even a chapter devoted to the question, Why do (some) men in top management feel free to sexually harass women?   For anyone interested in understanding the sources of women s under-representation in leadership positions, this book is an essential and comprehensive guide.
