Women Leading Women
CGO is investigating the hidden dynamics of women leading women. In November 2002, CGO held an internal learning seminar with Dr. Jean Bartunek, Professor of Management at Boston College and former President of the Academy of Management. The seminar was convened to deepen our thinking on this topic by reflecting on our own experience of women leading women (at CGO as well as in other organizations) and drawing on the expertise of Dr. Bartunek.
Dr. Bartunek integrated findings from her longitudinal study of leadership succession in a women’s group with an empowerment agenda (“Dynamics and Dilemmas of Women Leading Women.” Organization Science: A Journal of the Institute of Management Sciences, Nov/Dec 2000, 11(6)), with insights from her own leadership experiences.
