Abstract

This chapter proposes that the Gender-Multiple corporation can offer female leaders a more hospitable linguistic environment in which to succeed than the Male-Dominated or Gender-Divided Corporations. Early research evidence suggests that this type of corporation is emergent, it exists sporadically in many organisations today, and that it is part of the change agenda of more forward-looking organisations that seek to enhance the talents of people of different genders, ages, ethnicities, and backgrounds. The chapter provides evidence that not only are individual senior women initiating more powerful and influential ways of using language in order to enable their own effectiveness as leaders, but organisations are developing inclusive, female-friendly practices with which to support this quest.
