Metaphors of women as leaders
Purpose This paper aims to review the latest management developments across the globe and pinpoint practical implications from cutting-edge research and case studies.

Findings Women have made great advances in leadership roles over the past decade; however, there are still many challenges to be faced and overcome before there is equality with men. The labyrinth metaphor is a useful one, as it represents the challenges and opportunities women may face along their career path, not just at a single point. Practical implications The paper provides strategic insights and practical thinking that have influenced some of the world’s leading organizations. Originality/value The briefing saves busy executives and researchers hours of reading time by selecting only the very best, most pertinent information and presenting it in a condensed and easy-to-digest format.
