Synopsis
Leadership development is a huge industry though research on developing women leaders is dwarfed by the mainstream. This book offers a systematic analysis of the impact of various methods used to develop women leadership capacities.
Focusing on women-only training, the author uses rich descriptive data to explore the substantive changes women undergo in training as well as to explore the characteristics and processes of the training environment that lead to positive developmental outcomes.
Providing a theoretical framework to guide practice and research, this book will be important reading for researchers interested in leadership and women's studies.
