Addressing the Global Leadership Gender Gap

IRVINE, Calif. - March 7, 2018 - PRLog -- Morgan James's new release, The Power of Perception: Leadership, Emotional Intelligence, and the Gender Divide by Dr. Shawn Andrews, explains the differences in gender culture that often hinder a woman's impact in the workplace. An expert in the fields of diversity and organizational leadership, Dr. Andrews provides a practical guide for men, women, and organizations to acknowledge and overcome the barriers women face in business.

Women make up more than half of the U.S. workforce, yet nearly every major corporation is led by a man. Women are statistically more educated than men, and thus just as qualified for these roles, yet there is still a gender gap. The Power of Perception: Leadership, Emotional Intelligence, and the Gender Divide examines the reasons why more women are not found in positions of leadership within various organizations. From differences in leadership style and emotional intelligence, to societal stereotypes and gender bias, Andrews provides an in-depth look at gender equality in the business world. She also explores significant changes in global demographic trends and what our youngest generations have in common with women, for a glimpse into the future of business.

The fight for gender parity and women's rights has come a long way in the last century, but there is still much progress to be made. In The Power of Perception, Dr. Andrews offers personal stories of women's journeys and real-life examples, as well as sharing her own research and experience. She also offers practical steps that organizations can take to close the gender gap and begin to recognize women for their contribution and leadership potential in the workplace.

The disparity in global leadership will never be balanced until the perception of women in both the workplace and in society is shifted to recognize their authentic value and strengths. Dr. Shawn Andrews leads the way and paves the path to true equality in The Power of Perception: Leadership, Emotional Intelligence, and the Gender Divide.
