The Women Leaders Case Series includes teachable cases about real women business leaders based on primary interview data and secondary research, topics related to culture and gender norms, strengths-based leadership, business diversification, grit and resilience, work-life balance, and so on. Each case includes a teaching note to guide future instructors who may adopt the case for their students, which include teaching strategies, suggested readings, and examples of comments students might make. These cases vary in length and are relevant for a broad audience of learners. Each case is appropriate for existing or aspiring business leaders who want to learn effective management and leadership skills by learning from the example of a female business leader. These cases are also appropriate for graduate or undergraduate business students in classes that discuss business management, leadership, small business entrepreneurship, and/or civic and non-profit leadership.

For Instructors, Teaching Notes are provided for every case. Please visit The Case Centre to verify your instructor role and obtain access to teaching materials.
