Women's Leadership Research

My top three sites for women's leadership research:

Catalyst – The leading nonprofit membership organization working globally with businesses and the professions to build inclusive workplaces and expand opportunities for women and business. http://www.catalyst.org

The Glass Cliff – Examines what happens when women (and other minority groups) take on leadership roles. Extending the metaphor of the glass ceiling, 'the glass cliff' describes the phenomenon whereby individuals belonging to particular groups are more likely to be found in leadership positions that are associated with a greater risk of failure and criticism. http://psy.ex.ac.uk/seorg/glasscliff/index.html

Women-omics – Brings together gender experts, authors, journalists and business people to debate and present the latest and greatest thinking on gender from around the globe. The website is the brainchild of consultant, coach and author Avivah Wittenberg-Cox and is the first website focused on the theme of promoting women as an economic opportunity.
