Was tun? Ansätze zur Reduktion des Female Leadership Gap

  • Chapter
  • First Online:
Female Leaders - Führen Frauen anders?

Zusammenfassung

Dieses Kapitel stellt die folgenden Fragen:

  • Welches sind die größten Hindernisse für Frauen in Führungspositionen im „Leadership Labyrinth“?

  • Verstärken die „post-heroischen“ Führungsstile (wie Shared Leadership oder Empowering Leadership) den Female Leadership Advantage?

  • Welche Ansatzpunkte zur Förderung von Frauen in Führungspositionen werden diskutiert?

  • Wie erleben Top-Managerinnen in internationalen Organisationen ihre Führungsrolle?

  • Welche Möglichkeiten bieten Co-Leadership und Frauen-Quoten?

Das Leben ist für niemanden von uns einfach. Aber was heißt das schon? Wir müssen Ausdauer und vor allem Vertrauen in uns selbst haben. Wir müssen daran glauben, dass wir für eine Sache geschaffen sind und dass diese Sache erreicht werden muss.

Marie Curie (1867–1934, Wissenschaftlerin) (Felker, 2017)
