Breaking through the Brass Ceiling. Edition No. 1
VDM Publishing House, Nov 2008, Pages: 168
Women in the U.S. military have found the road to
the top positions to be a very long and slow
process. This book is the result of a study on the
small group of military women who have broken
through the 'brass ceiling' of the military to
become General and Flag officers, and their
strategies for career success. These strategies
include, but are not limited to, decisions about
career versus family, leadership style, behavior in
the workplace, mentoring relationships, and response
to career and personal challenges. While some
recent research has focused on executive women in
the civilian workplace, there is little to no
similar research on executive military women. This
research fills the gap in knowledge about women in
the elite echelons of the military, and finds that
they can have both a satisfying and successful
military career, as well as a nurturing home life.
