America is short of women executives for today’s mega-companies. But because women have made great strides in the business world, their numbers are growing. Author, Patricia Werhane, has brought together twenty-two prominent business women to share stories of their leadership styles, their most successful practices, and how they broke through the glass ceiling. Some of these women are executives of Kraft, Boeing, and Harley Davidson.

Regardless of colossal strides in the status of women in business, female CEOs of Fortune 500 companies are few and far between, and less than 15 percent of Fortune 500 board seats are held by women. These demoralizing statistics, however, disprove another observable fact: The male domination in the boardroom is starting to dissipate.

The women profiled in this book are no less than inspiring. You will learn from such women as:

• Paula Sneed, Executive Vice President, Global Marketing Resources & Initiatives, Kraft Foods, Inc.
• Donna Zarcone, President and Chief Operating Officer, Harley Davidson Financial Services
• Sondra Healy, Co-Chairman, Turtle Wax
• M. Martha Ries, Vice President, Ethics & Business Conduct, The Boeing Company
• And many more

These inspiring women believe firmly that you should avoid clichés and stereotypes. Women in Business: The Changing Face of Leadership is definitely inspiring for readers who are in the business world and trying to break the stereotypical mold of a business woman. As you read this book, you will obtain great information, and begin to have great confidence within yourself.
