Do women lead differently than men? Are they inherently more nurturing? Do women rely on the 'women's network', and is there really a glass ceiling that needs breaking?

Sideways To The Top is a unique, thought-provoking book that addresses these questions along with other longstanding assumptions about women. It chronicles the experiences of 11 women leaders - some of whom are Australian icons - who challenged the status quo and took alternative career pathways to the top. The book also features discussions on the realities and current issues facing women through conversations with and essays by experts in career transitions and gender differences.
