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.
