Celebrated author of Ways Women Lead and America’s Competitive Secret: Women Managers, Dr. Judith Rosener is a renown research analyst whose work focuses on the ways in which gender-specifically the differences exhibited by men versus women-plays a vital role in leadership styles in management and business. In “Ways Women Lead,” her ground-breaking article published in the Harvard Business Review in 1990, Rosener introduced an idea that a “woman’s way of leading” -interactive, cooperative, inclusive, and personal-was profoundly different from the traditional male way of leading, which she called “command and control.” This article created a tidal wave of controversy among her colleagues as well as in the rank and file of business professionals.
Frequent guest speaker and conference participant and author of numerous published articles, Rosener is a former columnist for the Los Angeles Times Sunday Business Section and former commentator for the PBS show “Life & Times.” She currently writes a column for the Los Angeles and Orange County Business Journal and teaches at the Graduate School of Management at the University of California, Irvine.
Rosener earned her undergraduate degree from University of California, Los Angeles, her master’s from California State University, Fullerton, and her doctorate from Claremont Graduate University’s Center for Politics and Economics.
Judith Rosener’s appearance at Scripps College is sponsored by the Elizabeth Hubert Malott Distinguished Speaker Series.
