Languages : en
Pages : 144
Book Description
This groundbreaking book presents a new way of looking at leadership that is anchored in research on women leaders in education. The authors examine how successful women in education lead and offer suggestions and ideas for developing and honing these exemplary leadership practices. Women and Educational Leadership shows how the qualities that characterize women's approaches to leadership differ from traditional approaches?whether the traditional leader is a woman or a man. The authors reveal that women leaders are more collaborative by nature and demonstrate a commitment to social justice. They tend to bring an instructional focus to leadership, include spiritual dimensions in their work, and strive for balance between the personal and professional. This important book offers a new model of leadership that shifts away from the traditional heroic notion of leadership to the collective account of leadership that focuses on leadership for a specific purpose—like social justice. The authors include illustrative examples of leaders who have brought diverse groups to work toward common ground. They also show how leadership is a way to facilitate and support the work of organizational members. The ideas and suggestions presented throughout the book can help the next generation fulfill the promise of a new tradition of leadership.

Pages : 241
Book Description
#1 INTERNATIONAL BESTSELLER • “A landmark manifesto" (The New York Times) that's a revelatory, inspiring call to action and a blueprint for individual growth that will empower women around the world to achieve their full potential. In her famed TED talk, Sheryl Sandberg described how women unintentionally hold themselves back in their careers. Her talk, which has been viewed more than eleven million times, encouraged women to “sit at the table,” seek challenges, take risks, and pursue their goals with gusto. Lean In continues that conversation, combining personal anecdotes, hard data, and compelling research to change the conversation from what women can’t do to what they can. Sandberg, COO of Meta (previously called Facebook) from 2008-2022, provides practical advice on negotiation techniques, mentorship, and building a satisfying career. She describes specific steps women can take to combine professional achievement with personal fulfillment, and demonstrates how men can benefit by supporting women both in the workplace and at home.

Book Description
As women, we face a number of challenges as we strive to succeed in the workplace. Understandably, we feel conflicted. The glass ceiling and the unique stresses that we endure at all levels have been influenced by our historical and traditional roles as mothers in the home and as sexual objects. Society teaches us that a woman ́s place is in the home as wife and mother. A woman who excels is looked upon as an anomaly, and there is wide spread perception that women do not make effective leaders. In addition, at all levels in the workplace women are vulnerable to sexual harassment. Working women, particularly women in professional careers with long hours, have to find ways to balance work with family responsibilities. This book is a study of the tight rope we "walk" every day. You will be challenged to create your own sense of "balance". This book will encourage you to reach out for mentors; to search for support groups of other like-minded women; and to give back to younger women. This is a must read for any woman who is currently in college or graduate school and about to enter the workplace. Today ́s young, professional woman needs to understand the challenges that awaits her. In addition, women who are currently in the workplace will see themselves in this book. The author is Dr. Suzanne Penn. She is a successful entrepreneur, and professional speaker who has taught women in some of America ́s leading colleges and universities for over 25 years as an adjunct professor. She is a "baby boomer" and is a product of the University of Chicago ́s MBA program.

The Working Woman

Languages : en
Pages : 36
Book Description
"The American College President study shows a significant gender gap between men and women in upper-level higher education positions (Cook, 2012). Perceptions of what it means to be a 'leader' have been shaped by our social environment, which largely determines what we perceive (and what we ignore) and which channels the ways in which we cognitively process that information (Goode, 2000). This research addresses the inequality within senior leadership in higher education by asking, how societal perceptions of female leaders affect staffing and generate obstacles for women in the workplace, specifically in higher education organizations. The research methodology for this study consists of a collective case study, in which the goal was to collect qualitative data from both male and female professionals in higher education positions on North Central College's campus. The results show underlying staffing issues that may contribute to the lack of female leadership in higher education, such as different standards for male and female leaders, negative influence of boards and consultants, and the difficulty of achieving work and family life balance. These findings provide the context for developing recommendations for staffing senior level positions at higher education organizations in the United States."--Abstract
