An alternative approach to leadership success: How women in Oman manage work and family responsibilities

Abstract

Purpose

This paper aims to review the latest management developments across the globe and pinpoint practical implications from cutting-edge research and case studies.

Design/methodology/approach

This briefing is prepared by an independent writer who adds their own impartial comments and places the articles in context.

Findings

Many women's career choices are shaped by culture to some extent. Alternative models are emerging where leadership success is not based solely on conventional indicators like status and economic gain. Women in Oman hold subjective views of success that incorporate work-life balance and deploying their leadership skills to mentor others.

Originality/value

The briefing saves busy executives and researchers hours of reading time by selecting only the very best, most pertinent information and presenting it in a condensed and easy-to-digest format.
