Summary

• There has been much speculation about whether women are leaving senior management jobs in significant numbers. Women Managers Moving On explores this phenomenon through a qualitative study of sixteen women who have reached middle or senior management levels and paused to review their careers. By telling their stories in detail, Marshall explores experiences of working in male-dominated cultures, of being change agents, decisions to leave, next steps and alternative career patterns.
• The book invites the reader to reflect on their own assumptions and sense-making as they read, and adopts an open form of presentation to facilitate this.
