Produktbeschreibung
There are very few women who hold senior management positions in universities worldwide. This volume, written entirely by women, examines the problem and suggests ways in which it might be remedied. It contextualizes the situation by discussing management styles, the ethics of leadership, and the influence of career trends outside academia; and then presents a series of fascinating case studies based on interviews with, and the experience of, senior academic women. Finally, it considers the benefits of support mechanisms such as networking, work-shadowing and equal opportunities policies, and what is being done in other countries to improve matters. This book will appeal to all who wish to see women's talents used to their full capacity, and to those whose particular interests or activities lie in management and leadership, women's studies and career development. Women who want to get on in higher education will find it particularly stimulating.
