Leading Roles: What coaches of women need to know

Abstract

AbstractTraditional notions of leadership are largely derived from a male context, but organizations are having to face the fact that the number of women in managerial roles has increased significantly. Th ese women leaders require leadership development techniques that address their particular needs. For executive coaches, this means they must understand the gender differences that may affect the coaching of high‐level women managers and the development needs of these managers.
