By documenting the successful efforts of a group of cutting-edge global companies to retain talented women and reintegrate them if they've already left, Off-Ramps and On-Ramps answers this critical question. Working closely with Ernst & Young, Goldman Sachs, General Electric, and others, author Sylvia Ann Hewlett identifies what works and why. Winning the War for Talent in Emerging Markets: Why Women Are the Solution (Hardcover) by Sylvia Ann Hewlett and Ripa Rashid The war for talent is heating up in emerging markets. Without enough "brain power," multinationals can't succeed in these markets. Yet they're approaching the war in the wrong way—bringing in expats and engaging in bidding wars for hotshot local "male" managers. The solution is hiding in plain sight: the millions of highly educated women surging into the labor markets of Brazil, Russia, India, China, and the United Arab Emirates. Increasingly, these women boast better credentials, higher ambitions, and greater loyalty than their male peers. But there's a catch: Attracting and retaining talented women in emerging economies requires different strategies than those used in mature markets. In Winning the War for Talent in Emerging Markets, Hewlett and Rashid analyze these forces and present strategies for countering them. This book is required reading for all companies seeking to strengthen their talent pipeline in these rich and expanding markets. Through the Labyrinth: The Truth About How Women Become Leaders (Hardcover) by Alice H. Eagly and Linda L. Carli Despite real progress, women remain rare enough in elite positions of power that their presence still evokes a sense of wonder. In Through the Labyrinth, Eagly and Carli examine why women's paths to power remain difficult to traverse. First, Eagly and Carli prove that the glass ceiling is no longer a useful metaphor and offer seven reasons why. They propose the labyrinth as a better image and explain how to navigate through it. This book's rich analysis is founded on scientific research from psychology, economics, sociology, political science, and management. The authors ground their conclusions in that research and invoke a wealth of engaging anecdotes and personal accounts to illustrate the practical principles that emerge. With excellent leadership in short supply, no group, organization, or nation can afford to restrict women's access to leadership roles. Our Separate Ways: Black and White Women and the Struggle for Professional Identity (Paperback) by Ella L.J.E. Bell and Stella M. Nkomo This groundbreaking book — based on a seven-year research effort that compared and contrasted the professional experiences of black and white female managers — reveals that black women have charted a unique course on their journey up the corporate ladder and illuminates how understanding diversity in all its dimensions can make the workplace a better and more effective environment for everyone.
