Networking for Change
Abstract
Describes the origins of the Women in Local Government Network (WLGN); the issues facing women managers and our preferred strategies for change through networking and personal support. Focuses on the particular current developments and issues in local government and how these can or do assist or further disadvantage women from getting the top jobs. However, the broad themes and issues of, for example, effective leadership and management style, the need for flexible working hours and practices and dealing with male networks are common to women managers working both in the private and public sectors. Describes how the network gives professional and personal support through seminars, training workshops and social events.
