Here you will find the latest review of our book by Petra Ahrens in Gender (2023, 15(2), pp. 148-150):

“Der Band ist kohärent aufgebaut und die einzelnen Kapitel sind theoretisch wie empirisch aufeinander bezogen. Dies liegt nicht zuletzt an der innovativen Theoreti- sierung und Konzeptualisierung eines ‚positional and behavioral leadership‘ durch die beiden Herausgeberinnen im Einführungskapitel, das sämtliche Kapitel strukturiert.” (Ahrens 2023: 148)
