Women in leadership roles: an agenda for change
Abstract
This article examines the issue of women in leadership roles. Presenting research evidence which shows that presence of women in top leadership roles is accompanied by superior organizational performance, it asks the question why we still find women in small numbers in senior and top positions. It examines attitudinal and systemic barriers to women's advancement and suggests some ways to overcome them. While women need to become more proactive, for any meaningful organizational change to occur, top management and HR professionals need to work together.
