Who made it to the top of Corporate America in the twentieth
century? And what do their experiences mean for the next generation
of business leaders? In "Paths to Power", Anthony J. Mayo, Nitin
Nohria, and Laura G. Singleton answer these questions. The authors
explore access to business leadership opportunities - showing how a
small group of "insiders" possess advantages that facilitate a
smooth journey to the top while a larger group of "outsiders" face
disadvantages that make their path to leadership positions more
difficult.Yet throughout the history of American business, the
composition of insiders and outsiders has shifted. Examining data
on leader birthplaces, religious affiliation, education,
socioeconomic status, race, and gender, "Paths to Power" explains
how the demographics of leadership have changed over the 20th
century and how they''re changing now. Further, they discuss the
mechanisms of advancement for insiders and outsiders, and show how
these mechanisms have also evolved. Though white men still hold
most power positions in business, the authors assert that the gates
of access aren''t as static as they seem.
