Water for Swans & Landings for Eagles
The Definitive Guide to Designing Successful, Inclusive Cultures
Recommendation
This intriguing, original book tackles a major and persistent problem: the underrepresentation of women in corporate leadership. Maureen R. Healy argues that the structures of corporate culture exclude women and make them feel out of place. These structures are linguistic, symbolic and conceptual as well as literal – such as the shape of a table. Healy integrates material from the social sciences and humanities. Some readers will find that her suggestions need testing and her supporting data seem selectively gathered, but Healy offers interesting tips along with PR for her consulting firm and discussion-worthy opinions. She has great information and sees great possibilities, but may lack scientific rigor. getAbstract recommends her imaginative, readable essay to anyone interested in gender equality, corporate culture and creative solutions.
