Abstract

One of the challenges to women entering management today is that the role models available to them are predominantly male. Just as an Englishman learning, say, Italian solely from an Italian woman would acquire the mannerisms and behaviour patterns of an Italian woman, so what women managers learn is inappropriate for their role in society. Learning by a kind of osmosis from role models is not only time‐consuming, but usually means that all the behaviour displayed is copied—whether or not it is relevant or of value.
