Women as Global Leaders is the second volume in the new Women and
Leadership: Research, Theory, and Practice book series published for the
International Leadership Association by IAP. Global leadership is an
emerging area of research, with only a small but growing published
literature base. More specifically, the topic of women’s advances and
adventures in leading within the global context is barely covered in the
existing leadership literature. Although few women are serving in
global leadership roles in corporate and non-profit arenas, and as heads
of nations, that number is growing (e.g., Indira Nooyi at PepsiCo,
Sheryl Sandberg at Facebook, Marissa Mayer at Yahoo, Ellen Johnson
Sirleaf as president of Liberia, Angela Merkel as chancellor of
Germany).
The purpose of this volume is to provide the reader with current
conceptualizations and theory related to women as global leaders, recent
empirical investigations of the phenomenon, analysis of effective
global leadership development programs, and portraits of women who lead,
or have led, in a global role. The volume is divided into four
sections. The first section covers the state of women as global leaders,
containing chapters by Joyce Osland and Nancy Adler, pioneers in the
field of global and/or women’s leadership. The second section describes
approaches to women’s global leadership. The third section offers an
analysis of programs that are useful in developing women as global
leaders, with the final section profiling women as global leaders,
including Margaret Thatcher, Nobel Laureate Malala Yousfazai, and Golda
Meir. As Barbara Kellerman noted in the Foreword, "this book... should
be understood as a collection whose time has come, precisely because
women now have opportunities to lead that are far more expansive than
they were even in the recent past. Though their numbers remain low, they
are able in some cases to exercise leadership not only as outsiders,
but also as insiders, from the very positions of power and authority to
which men forever have had access."
