Handbook of Research on Gender and Leadership

Edited by Susan R. Madsen, Karen Haight Huntsman Endowed Professor of Leadership, Jon M. Huntsman School of Business,Utah State University, US

‘This extraordinary collection of research and practices needs to be used as a manual for action. Years ago, Kofi Annan stated: “The future of the world depends on women.” The current world of aggression and oppression is one consequence of denying women access to leadership. There is no more time to consider women’s role as life-affirming leaders – we must enact and embody the clarity and wisdom contained in this new edition.’
