About this title

Reviews

Francis, an experienced family business counselor and psychologist, articulately questions the cultural assumptions of family-owned American businesses. Although leadership succession in most family businesses used to be decided by primogeniture, the last half of this century has brought a significant change of attitude. Outlining the types of challenges women face when changing their role in the business from daughter, niece, sister, or granddaughter to department head, vice president, or CEO, Francis argues three main points: first, women are often overlooked as potential leaders because of unconscious stereotypes and outdated attitudes; second, women have the skills to be effective leaders; and third, nobody should have to be a superwoman to have a career and a family. A wealth of case studies and a collection of self-evaluation exercises make this book useful for any woman working to develop confidence, strength, and leadership skills. For all business collections.ASusan C. Awe, Univ. of New Mexico Lib., Albuquerque
