The Female Advantage: Women's Ways of Leadership
- Great product!
Now in Currency paperback -- Sally Helgesen'sÂ Â classic study of female leaders and how theirÂ Â strategies represent a highly successful revision of maleÂ Â leadership styles. Sixty thousand copies in print!Â Â In her bestselling 1990 book, Sally HelgesenÂ Â discovered that men and women approach work inÂ Â fundamentally different ways. Many of these differencesÂ Â hold distinct advantages for women, who excel atÂ Â running organizations that foster creativity,Â Â cooperation, and intuitive decision-making power,Â Â necessities for companies of the twenty-first century.Â Â Helgesen's findings reveal that organizations run byÂ Â women do not take the form of the traditionalÂ Â hierarchical pyranaid, but more closely resemble aÂ Â web, where leaders reach out, not down, to form anÂ Â interrelating matrix built around a central purpose.Â Â The strategy of the web concentrates power at theÂ Â center by drawing others closer and by creatingÂ Â communities where information sharing is essential.Â Â She presents her findings through unique, closelyÂ Â detailed accounts of four successful womenÂ Â business leaders -- Frances Hesselbein of Girl ScoutsÂ Â USA, Barbara Grogan of Western IndustrialÂ Â Contractors, Nancy Badore of Ford Motor Company's ExecutiveÂ Â Development Center, and Dorothy Brunson of BrunsonÂ Â Communications. Helgesen observes their meetings,Â Â listens to their phone calls and conferences, andÂ Â reads their correspondence. Her "diaryÂ Â studies" document how women leaders make decisions,Â Â schedule their days, gather and disperseÂ Â information, motivate others, delegate tasks, structureÂ Â their companies, hire, and fire. She chronicles howÂ Â their experiences as women -- wives, mothers,Â Â friends, sisters, daughters -- contribute to theirÂ Â leadership style.
