5.0 out of 5 stars
Excellent, a must read for anyone in the business world.,
By Nancy Guzan (Nancy.Guzan@gte.net (San Francisco, California) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Women and Leadership in Health Care: The Journey to Authenticity and Power (Hardcover)
I am not a manager in the healthcare industry. However, I work in office support in the healthcare industry. Ms. Robinson-Walker's book was a tremendous inspiration to me during a difficult time. I found that I was enlightened and educated by the material addressed. I particularly liked the personal stories. This book also validated that the problems were not me, but the system. I recommend this book not only for managers but for anyone who works in a business environment. From the mailroom clerk to the CEO. Thank you so much.

This review is from: Women and Leadership in Health Care: The Journey to Authenticity and Power (Hardcover)
An extremely well organized and written book with wonderful attention to current literature and perspectives on gender and leadership. The variety that characterizes the national and international experts who have contributed their personal stories to the book provides us with the opportunity to learn from the leaders and experience the wisdom they have to offer. This book makes a very important addition to the literature and helps teach us all how to become more reflective and effective leaders.

A comprehensive look at women leaders in health care.,
By A Customer
This review is from: Women and Leadership in Health Care: The Journey to Authenticity and Power (Hardcover)
Robinson-Walker frames her book using the following questions: Why do women of undisputed talent opt out of senior roles? Why are some not even considered even if qualified? Why do others not choose developmental opportunities leading to positions of leadership? Utilizing a thorough review of literature and interviews with nearly 100 leading female and male health care executives from a variety of disciplines, the author weaves their stories into a compelling analysis. She notes that women, who comprise 85% of U.S.healthcare workeers, fill little more than a third of all manageent roles. The author goes on to address the stumbling blocks presented in the literature and described by those who participated in interviews. Moving beyond the specific issues and challenges experienced by women seeking and experiencing leadership, Robinson-Walker concludes the book with suggestions for "reframing" our thinking about ways in which to achieve a more productive balance of women and men in health care leadership roles.
