Building a New Leadership Ladder by Carol J. Geffner Pdf

Strategies for transforming workplace cultures to support a new generation of women leaders. When it comes to the gender gap, it is not enough to ask women to “lean in” and demand promotions and raises. Organizations have an obligation to level up and provide women with more opportunities for advancement. In this book, leadership and governance expert Carol Geffner makes a strong case that for women to reach their full potential, workplaces and their leaders must take a more proactive role in combating gender discrimination. Based on over 200 hours of interviews with women leaders in the United States and abroad, Building a New Leadership Ladder demonstrates that even when women are promoted to leadership positions, they are rarely given access to the same support networks as their male colleagues. Covering sectors as diverse as higher education, health care, law enforcement, and the military, the book identifies common strategies that all organizations can use to remove obstacles for women’s advancement. More than a how-to guide on how women can ascend to the top, Building a New Leadership Ladder is a bold call to action for organizations and their leaders to proactively foster the conditions under which women’s efforts to rise up are consistently recognized and rewarded. Interviewer: Dr. Carol Geffner, Director of the Executive Master of Leadership Program at the USC’s Sol Price School of Public Policy Interviewees: Alma Burke, former LAPD, currently head of security at USC Yasmin Beers, former City Manager, Glendale, CA RaShall Brackney, Chief of Police, Charlottesville, VA Coco Brown, CEO Athena Alliance (SaaS company for HR) Mary Sue Coleman, chemist, interim president of University of Michigan (she previously served as president from 2002-2014) France Cordova, director of National Science Foundation Tiffany Felix, Senior Vice President, Environmental Health and Safety, Paramount Jennifer Grasso, LAPD’s first female SWAT officer Heidi Hammel, Executive Vice President of the Association of Universities for Research in Astronomy Stephanie Jarvis, (couldn’t immediately confirm her current role) Nannerl Keohane, former president of Wellesley College and Duke University Fiona Ma, California State Treasurer Anni Mu, Deputy Group Commander, CA Air National Guard Laura Mosqueda, Professor of Family Medicine and Geriatrics at USC Keck School of Medicine Janet Napolitano, former Arizona governor, former Secretary of Homeland Security Sharon Papa, Chief of Police, Hermosa Beach, CA Ellen Stofan, Under Secretary for Science and Research, The Smithsonian Mirtha Villereal-Younger, multiple leadership roles within CA military, currently President/CEO of Agile Construction Hiltrud Werner, Volkswagen Board member Joy White, Executive Director of the Air Force Space and Missile Systems Center Maria Zuber, Vice President of Research, MIT In addition, three women were interviewed who, due to the nature of their positions and sectors, asked that they not be identified in this book.

Leadership Strategies for Women by Paul Vanderbroeck Pdf

How do women leaders make it to the top of an organization? How can women stay at the top when most of their colleagues are men? What should women do to exercise leadership well? This book tells the stories of four powerful women who knew the answers to these three questions. Therefore, this book also explicitly identifies the key factors in these leaders’ career success, and it elucidates the competencies that enabled the women to exercise leadership effectively. The four success stories offer women who already serve in leadership roles and those who aspire to become great leaders both inspiration and practical lessons that can be applied to real-world challenges. “A wonderful selection of much-needed role models of powerful women who shaped their time with distinctively authentic styles, all their own. An inspiration for both men and women of what more gender balance in global political and economic roles has to offer the world.” Avivah Wittenberg-Cox, CEO 20-first and best-selling author of Why Women Mean Business and How Women Mean Business. “We all know we can learn a lot from history. Leadership Strategies for Women does this in the unexpected context of gender diversity. Nicely written and original, the book is a powerful example of how looking back can help us moving forward.” Frank Uit de Weerd, Vice-President HR Innovation, Research & Development, Royal Dutch/Shell “An inspiring narrative that creatively leverages lessons from four women from the past, each of whom had to play the cards she was dealt, and each a force of nature who prevailed against the odds and shaped her world. Today’s crop of aspiring women leaders, who often start from scratch and face a bewildering array of options and tough performance expectations, would do well to absorb this book’s tightly drawn lessons.” Ingo Walter, Seymour Milstein Professor of Finance, Corporate Governance and Ethics, NYU Stern School of Business

Women and Leadership by Julia Gillard,Ngozi Okonjo-Iweala Pdf

A powerful call-to-action for gender equity that offers 10 key lessons for women aspiring to a leadership role—be it in politics, business, law, or their local community. Featuring words of wisdom from female leaders like Hillary Clinton and Theresa May, this empowering study reads like a You Are a Badass volume on world leadership. Women make up fewer than 10% of national leaders worldwide. Behind this eye-opening statistic lies a pattern of unequal access to power. Through conversations with some of the world’s most powerful and interesting women—including Jacinda Ardern, Hillary Rodham Clinton, Christine Lagarde, Michelle Bachelet, and Theresa May—Women and Leadership explores gender bias and asks why there aren’t more women in leadership roles. Speaking honestly and freely, these women talk about having their ideas stolen by male colleagues, what it’s like to be called fat or a slut in the media, and what things they wish they had done differently. The stories they tell reveal vividly how gender and sexism affect perceptions of women as leaders. Using current research as a starting point, Julia Gillard and Ngozi Okonjo-Iweala—both political leaders in their own countries—analyze the lived experiences of these women leaders. The result is a rare insight into life as a leader and a powerful call to arms for women everywhere.

Recognizing Women's Leadership by Tiffani Lennon Pdf

According to recent data on women leaders across all major sectors in the United States, women are outperforming men but earning less and still hitting the glass ceiling. This book uncovers the best practices to remedy these inequities, optimize performance, and benefit both genders. In compiling and analyzing 2011–2012 data on women leaders across all major sectors in the United States, author Tiffani Lennon, JD, uncovered proof that women are outperforming men—yet salaries and positional leadership roles are disproportionate to the performance and accomplishments of women in nearly all sectors. Recognizing Women's Leadership: Strategies and Best Practices for Employing Excellence presents a comprehensive look at agencies and organizations with the smallest pay gap and the largest percentage of female positional leaders to reveal best practices and strategies that ensure gender parity and optimal business performance, including impact, revenue, and efficacy. The study examined in this book included approximately 1,500 for-profit companies, not-for-profit businesses, and other organizations and associations throughout the country to establish the number of women leaders among the top echelon in each industry. Researchers also calculated leadership performance by identifying the frequency with which women received industry distinctions and awards, were top revenue generators, and achieved best-sellers list status, among other sector-specific criteria. The ramifications of the study's findings portend the future of the United States as a global competitor and as such need to be part of the public discourse surrounding the state of the American economy.
