This book was released on 2013 with total page 38 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This study investigated individual differences in perceptions of leadership. According to research, people hold prototypes for what a typical business leader is and the qualities they should and should not possess. This prototype is shaped by an individual's perceptions of and experiences with different business leaders and can vary from one individual to the next. Despite the growing urgency for diversity within work environments and the fact that women comprise more than half of the workforce, when considering the business leader, White males have been found to be most prototypic. This finding has been supported in multiple studies; however, the literature has primarily focused on comparisons between White and African American men, while only recently beginning to expand to include comparisons with women and other ethnic minorities. This study builds upon previous research by examining individual's leadership perceptions of six targets: White, African American, and Asian American men and women, with a particular interest in the combined effects of both ethnicity and gender. Using the description and performance summary of a fictitious employee and company, individuals measured the leadership potential of the six targets with the manipulations of ethnicity, gender, and performance (having increased or decreased). Furthermore, most research on the topic has relied on self-report and survey measures to assess perceptions of leadership ability. There is evidence that we have automatic processes occurring outside of conscious awareness that activate held stereotypes and that are not available to be accessed through introspection. Therefore, this study also incorporated the use of implicit measures, specifically, the single category implicit association test (SC-IAT), to discover individual's associations between the six targets and the status of "business leader." Implicit measures have been found valuable in limiting the ability to "fake" or give socially desirable responses, giving the measure the ability to reveal true associations people hold consciously or unconsciously. Participants included 326 university students, each completing both the personnel summary measure, for which they evaluated one target's leadership potential, and the SC-IAT, which measured the association of each of the six targets with the status of "business leader" and "business subordinate." A between-subjects ANOVA was used to analyze differences in perceptions of leadership potential and a within-subjects ANOVA was used to analyze differences in associations of the six targets with the status of business leader versus business subordinate. Findings indicated some mixed results between the two measures. The personnel summary measure indicated no significant differences between ethnic or gender groups, but did find that targets described as having increased performance were evaluated more favorably than those described as having decreased performance. However, The SC-IAT found a significant difference in ethnicity in that both Whites and African Americans were more closely associated to the status of business leader than Asian Americans, and males more closely associated than females. This study contributes to the current research literature by examining multiple minority groups and women, including minority women, and thus exploring theories of the intersectionality of ethnicity and gender with regard to perceptions of business leaders.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Master's Thesis from the year 2014 in the subject Psychology - Work, Business, Organisation, grade: 10 (A) with honors, University of Ramon Llull (Organizational Psychology), language: English, abstract: The objective of this study is to evaluate the gender and cultural differences in the perception of a male and a female leader in a feedback situation. The research is based upon considerations of a literature review in the fields of gender bias and stereotype conducted previously. Subjects from Spain and Germany were asked to evaluate a director (male or female) of a fictive feedback situation that was described before a short questionnaire. The questions of the questionnaire were based on previous research and findings of the literature review. Results show no significance differences in the evaluation across genders and cultures. We tested if previous experience with a woman leader was related to a higher evaluation of the female leader finding no significant relationship. We tested if there was a relationship between the previous experience with a female leader and the preference to work for a certain leader’s gender finding no significant relationship. Taking into consideration the subgroup “previous experience with a female leader”, we analyzed if personnel responsibility was related to the preference to work for a certain leader’s gender finding no relationship. Results from the study show that gender, culture and previous experience with a female leader had no influence on the leader’s evaluation. A discussion with possible interpretations of the findings and implication for further research follows.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Power of Perception: Leadership, Emotional Intelligence and the Gender Divide serves as a practical guide to educate women, men and organizations on the barriers that keep women from fully contributing in the workplace. These include differences in leadership style and emotional intelligence, gender bias and stereotypes, breadwinner and caregiver responsibilities, and differences in gender culture which show up every day at work and home. The Power of Perception also explores significant changes in global demographic trends and how our youngest generations are impacting the workplace. The Power of Perception clearly illustrates the reasons that we don’t see more women leading our global businesses. It has nothing to do with women’s skills and competencies and everything to do with perceptions of women as leaders, as workers, as mothers, and as wives. These perceptions have a significant impact on promotion for many women. Perception is reality—and it’s powerful. The Power of Perception provides personal stories of women’s journeys, real-world examples, and is based on the author’s own research as well as that of many others. Every chapter includes practical, easy-to-apply strategies, summary points, and reflection questions to empower women, men, and organizations to fully leverage talent and diversity.

Book excerpt: Competence does not speak for itself! You can't simply display it; you have to draw people's attention to it. World-renowned negotiation and deception detection expert, business professor, and mentalist Jack Nasher offers effective, proven techniques to convince others that we are talented, trustworthy, and yes, even brilliant. Nasher offers the example of Joshua Bell, possibly the world's most famous violinist. In January 2007, at rush hour, he stepped into a Washington, DC, subway station, dressed like any street busker, and began to play a $4,000,000 Stradivarius. It was part of an experiment staged by a journalist of the Washington Post, who expected Bell's skill alone to attract an immense, awed crowd. But Bell was generally ignored, and when he stopped, nobody applauded. He made $34.17. The good news is that you don't have to accept obscurity: you can positively affect others' perception of your talent. Whether you're looking for work, giving an important presentation, seeking clients or customers for your business, or vying for a promotion, Nasher explains how to use techniques such as expectation management, verbal and nonverbal communication, the Halo Effect, competence framing, and the power of nonconformity to gain control of how others perceive you. Competence is the most highly valued professional trait. But it's not enough to be competent, you have to convey your competence. With Nasher's help you can showcase your expertise, receive the recognition you deserve, and achieve lasting success.

Download or read book Gender Communication and the Leadership Gap written by Carolyn M. Cunningham and published by IAP. This book was released on 2017-09-01 with total page 385 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Gender, Communication, and the Leadership Gap is the sixth volume in the Women and Leadership: Research, Theory, and Practice series. This cross-disciplinary series, from the International Leadership Association, enhances leadership knowledge and improves leadership development of women around the world. The purpose of this volume is to highlight connections between the fields of communication and leadership to help address the problem of underrepresentation of women in leadership. Readers will profit from the accessible writing style as they encounter cutting-edge scholarship on gender and leadership. Chapters of note cover microaggressions, authentic leadership, courageous leadership, inclusive leadership, implicit bias, career barriers and levers, impression management, and the visual rhetoric of famous women leaders. Because women in leadership positions occupy a contested landscape, one goal of this collection is to clarify the contradictory communication dynamics that occur in everyday interactions, in national and international contexts, and when leadership is digital. Another goal is to illuminate the complexities of leadership identity, intersectionality, and perceptions that become obstacles on the path to leadership. The renowned thinkers and scholars in this volume hail from both Leadership and Communication disciplines. The book begins with Sally Helgesen and Brenda J. Allen. Helgesen, co-author of The Female Vision: Women’s Real Power at Work, discusses the two-fold challenge women face as they struggle to articulate their visions. Her chapter offers six practices women can use to relieve this struggle. Allen, author of the groundbreaking book, Difference Matters: Communicating Social Identity, discusses the implications of how inclusive leadership matters to women and what it means to think about women as people who embody both dominant and non-dominant social identity categories. She then offers practical communication strategies and an intersectional ethic to the six signature traits of highly inclusive leaders. Each chapter includes practical solutions from a communication and leadership perspective that all readers can employ to advance the work of equality. Some solutions will be of use in organizational contexts, such as leadership development and training initiatives, or tools to change organizational culture. Some solutions will be of use to individuals, such as how to identify and respond productively to micro-aggressions or how to be cautious rather than optimistic about practicing authentic leadership. The writing in this volume also reflects a range of styles, from in-depth scholarship that produces new knowledge to shorter forums that feature interesting ideas worth considering.
