It also shows how emerging and current leaders of both genders in many disciplines can expand their leadership potentials.

Featuring contributions from leadership experts and statisticians at various career stages, this unique and insightful text:

Although the context focuses on statistics, the material applies to almost all fields of endeavor. This book is a valuable resource for those ready to consider leadership as an important element of their careers, and for those who are already leaders but want to deepen their perspectives on leadership. It makes an ideal text for group leadership training as well as for individual professional development.
