- W3197832748 abstract "500-1000 words) As the research and publications on women and leadership continues to expand, there is agreement that advancing increasing numbers of women into positions of leadership in organizations and society has tremendous benefits. For example, Gerzema and D’Antonio (2013) indicated that society as a whole benefits when there are more women in leadership. They found that, among 64,000 people surveyed in 13 different countries, a vast majority felt that the world would be a better place if men thought more like women—that is, away from battlefield mentality, and into more nurturing, cooperation, communication and sharing. Our focus in this session is on unpacking some of the insights gained from the most recent volume in the women and leadership book series, specifically focusing on overall lessons learned as editors, and two chapters from Asia Pacific and Europe. The guiding questions for this symposium is, what can we learn from women’s experiences as leaders in different parts of the world? What is common, and what is unique about women, their access to power and authority, and the barriers faced in different contexts? How do women cross the borders of generations, as well as national borders, in their pursuit of leadership? The chapters about women in Europe offered a diverse array of perspectives regarding statistics, women’s experiences at the intersections of social roles and identities as leaders in different contexts. These chapters remind us that, as Alder (2008) has argued before, early experiences have a strong influence on women’s development as leaders. Beyond individual experiences at home, women’s access to leadership positions and their ability to thrive as leaders is impacted by structures and policies within nations and organizations. This is an important reminder that, as Sheryl Sandberg (2013) so eloquently argued in her book, Lean In, there is individual responsibility to lean into opportunities, as well as policies and structures that must be in place to support women’s leadership. Whether quotas are utilized, family and maternity policies instituted and child care systems put in place has a great impact on the numbers of women able to effectively engage in leadership. The chapters focusing on Asia-Pacific provided rich descriptions of female leaders in different contexts, including education, business, entertainment industry and politics. Countries included New Zealand, India, Philippines and Taiwan; the chapters elaborated on the challenges and opportunities available for women in that region. Overall, the chapters focusing on these two regions of the world highlighted several transformational insights for us as editors. First of all, they helped to demonstrate that, even in far reaches such as Philippines and Taiwan, women are engaging in leadership, in spite of constrains and challenges to their authority as leaders. Secondly, these chapters reminded us of the need for not just personal leadership development activities for women, but also structural and policy changes within nations and organizations, to create a climate more open to gender equity in leadership. Without the structural and policy changes, women’s efforts are limited in their effectiveness. Thirdly, these chapters raise the need for continued studies, employing multiple methods, focusing on both individual level of analysis as well as groups, teams, organizations, and nations, in order to further learn what works and what gets in the way of advancing women in leadership. Fourth, we recognized the need to train more women in writing and research skills, so that such women can use those skills to record, investigate, and write about leadership in their various contexts, to contribute to the knowledge base. The fact that we have so little on women and leadership in countries such as India, Philippines, and Taiwan makes it necessary to empower emerging scholars to engage in that work." @default.
