Women and Leadership in Health Care: The Journey to Authenticity and Power
Women outnumber men six to one in the health care field. But despite their numbers, women still struggle to gain entry into boardrooms and the "executive suite." Why are there so few women in top-level management and executive positions within the health care industry? Can this course be changed?
Written for health care executives and managers of both sexes, Women and Leadership in Health Care: The Journey to Authenticity and Power, explores the vital issues that surround the gender disparity in health care leadership. This book answers the vital questions concerning how gender affects health care leadership. It reveals how to create a diverse, creative, and resourceful leadership pool. And it gives women the tools they need to break the glass ceiling.
Meticulously researched, Women and Leadership in Health Care is based on Catherine Robinson-Walker's comprehensive survey of health care leaders and a far-reaching review of today's management literature. Robinson-Walker-a recognized expert in leadership development in health care-offers hands-on guidance for health care managers and executives enabling them to assess their current environment and create a plan that will ensure the most qualified employees have the opportunity to develop into top-level health care leaders.
By delving deeply into the complexities of beliefs and perceptions about gender, the author offers an invaluable resource for understanding the often confusing mix of gender, leadership, professional culture, social expectations, and personal bias.
Filled with useful suggestions and practical advice, the book
- Offers guidance for overcoming gender barriers in health care leadership

A Road Map to the Top of Health Care Management
