Shorelines examples from "A Woman's Place is in the Boardroom" by Peninah Thomson and Jacey Graham with Tom Lloyd The following cartoons are printed in the book in greyscale - but you can see them in full colour here! "...it's a self-perpetuating situation... it's something about not being members of the club, and about it being very hard for women to join the club" "All aspects of diversity are important. You need men who are different, too. A lot of boards have annual golf days; I don't play golf!" "..women do stand back a bit; think for themselves; have their own views - men often seem to want to agree with each other in a clubby sort of way." "We asked headhunter if they agreed that, to attract their attention, women needed to make themselves "look like" candidates." JACKET NOTES - INSIDE "There are relatively few women in senior executive positions and on the boards of major companies. Based upon their professional experience, research and in the context of contemporary management debates, the authors make the case for promoting women to the board in order to create more value for shareholders. The book draws upon interviews with FTSE 100 and Fortune 500, chairmen, chief executives, women directors and headhunters, and includes case study material." EXTRACTS FROM JACKET NOTES - BACK "The book underscores the value women bring to the boardroom The findings are relevant to every senior executive looking for leadership teams that will capture imaginations, stimulate positive change and deliver high performance." - Joe W. Forehand, Chairman, Accenture "This is a book born out of extensive research among those with leadership responsibilities in today's boardrooms. It fills an obvious gap in modern business literature. It should be a very valuable read for all women aspiring to take their place in the boardroom as well as being a valuable source of insight for all directors and chairmen who want to create success through diversity." - Sir John Parker, Chairman, National Grid Published by Palgrave Macmillan ISBN-13: 978-1-403909683-1 ISBN-10: 1-4039-0683-0 bs@shorelinesart.co.uk cartoons strips caricatures cards illustration models info home
