Dr Bettina Al-Sadik-Lowinski is a management researcher, executive coach (MCC, ICF) and founder of the Global Women Career Lab initiative. In her previous publications, How Chinese Women Rise, Women in Top Management and Typology of Career Paths of International Top Women Managers, Al-Sadik-Lowinski has explored how female managers from around the world can rise to the highest positions. Her analysis and conclusions have been widely discussed in the international press. Thanks to her extensive experience working with international companies and coaching international business leaders, Al-Sadik-Lowinski has built up a network of senior executives across the globe.

In 2014, she founded the Global Women Career Lab, an international training and research initiative that delivers coaching and workshops designed to help more women move into senior management roles.
"""This is a truly important book about the male perspective on the important issue of gender diversity and how to get more women into senior leadership positions. It's well researched and well argued. I really love how the author addresses sensitive issues in the cooperation between men and women and provides valuable advice on how to make it more effective. It will generate healthy discussion and support all of us in making our organizations more inclusive."" Camiel Gielkens, CEO Schouten & Nelissen Group ""Finally, a book that explores men's views on women in leadership positions and listens to what they have to say about sensitive topics such as #MeToo and women's supposed lack of career ambitions. Mutual understanding will allow us to break down barriers and build successful mixed leadership teams in which both genders participate equally. This book gave me a lot of ideas to put into practice.""Britta Bomhard, Chief Marketing Officer USA, Church & Dwight ""We need a world where gender diversity is a reality. It is proven that diverse organizations are more effective and achieve better profitability. In the book, male decision-makers report on what is necessary for this.""Javier Gimeno, Senior Group VP & CEO Latin America, Saint-Gobain"
