Insightful and inspiring, Closing the Leadership Gap is a call to action to increase the presence of women in powerful leadership positions in our country-in politics as well as business. Marie C. Wilson, a leading women's advocate and founder of the White House Project argues that even as our nation sits on a world spinning with crises, we have barely begun to tap our most critical natural resource--women.

Despite the common view that women already permeate every level of leadership, in fact:

The United States ranks sixtieth in the world in terms of female political representation

A study of Sunday-morning tall shows found that male guests outnumbered females 9 to 1

Women constitute 47 percent of the labor force in the United States yet lead only six Fortune 500 companies

One out of every seven military personnel in Iraq are women, but only fifty women in the armed services

Rich have reached the rank of admiral or general Rich with historical context and supported by a wealth of current data and innovative research, Closing the Leadership Gap explores the deeply ingrained political social, and cultural factors--including the media-that support the resistance to women at the top. As Wilson makes clear, the issue isn't a personal one about women's ability or willingness to lead; it's about a common perception that men are leaders and women are not. But perceptions can be overcome. Closing the Leadership Gap offers prescriptions and role models of women who have mastered the challenges and requirements for leadership. These women are at the leading edge of change and can motivate all of us to take action, not just for the sake of fairness but for the sake of the larger social good.

Written with passion, documented with lively anecdotes and behind-the-scenes stories from the trenches, and filled with concrete steps that can be taken by women and men from every walk of life, this is a manifesto and a handbook that could tip the tipping point for closing the leadership gap.
