Women, Business and Leadership

Edited by Alexander-Stamatios Antoniou, Associate Professor of Psychology, National and Kapodistrian University of Athens, Greece, Cary Cooper, Alliance Manchester Business School, University of Manchester and Caroline Gatrell, Professor of Organization Studies, University of Liverpool Management School, UK

‘Women, Business and Leadership is an important contribution to the literature on gender in organisational settings. The book advances not only organisational theory but also practice by offering concrete, specific solutions that can be applied in organisations. Finally, the most important message that the book delivers is that the change in our policies, attitudes, culture, and expectations needs to come, and we cannot and should not wait for another 50 years.’
