Achieving the top: women in management.
Because of its unique structure, the health-care industry can take the lead in creating a responsive organizational environment where women can achieve top-level positions. This requires greater flexibility from both the organization and the individual. This article examines gender-related obstacles (e.g., a male-defined workplace and the inability of women to divorce themselves from family responsibilities) to career advancement and suggests some options to eliminate and overcome these obstacles (e.g., compressed and flexible time and mentoring).
