Gender Synergy: How Organisations Excel When Enough Capable Women Take Top Decision Making Roles

By Leonard Thomas Nyirongo

Do women have as much potential as men for top management and leadership roles in organisations? Why then are there so few women CEOs and Board Directors in organisations? What are the factors hindering women from occupying top managerial and leadership roles in as significant numbers as men and how can they be effectively addressed? What are the implications to organisational performance and national development? Based on research done by both male and female management and leadership scholars and consultants and real life case examples over the past 50 years, this book marshals a mass of evidence to prove that, given a level playing field, orgnisations perform better when women and men overcome stereotypes and complement their strengths in top managerial ranks and boardrooms. Women's leadership styles that were in the past considered peripheral to men's styles due to stereotyping, are today becoming more and more indispensable to the success of global organisations and national and sectoral development. The book also discusses case examples of major organisations that are benefiting from coaching and promoting more women into top management, and streamlining their labour policies to be more gender sensitive.
