Description of A Woman's Place in the Boardroom: The Roadmap |
The authors continue their argument for the business case for increased representation of women in senior management and on boards. This subject continues to be a hot topic, and the new book is a practical guide for how to apply the theories put forward in the first book.The previous book, "A Woman's Place is in the Boardroom", received a great deal of media attention, including TV and radio interviews and articles in several national newspapers. It was also short-listed for the MCA Management Book of the Year Award.The authors are both well known for their work with the FTSE 100 Cross-Company Mentoring Programme, and their profile outside the UK is also growing - Peninah Thomson has been invited to be a Visting Professor at INSEAD.In the bestseller "A Woman's Place is in the Boardroom" the authors described the problem, gave comprehensive views of how it looked from both sides, and presented the arguments for positive change. This book is all about the 'how to'. It takes all the arguments and analysis of the first book, and focuses on how to apply it and what to do.
