Abstract
Based on the author′s research, training and consultancy with women managers in the Education and Health sectors, focuses on the deconstruction of external factors which disempower women managers in the workplace, and the extent to which these interact with women′s internalized narratives. Raises questions about women managers′ relationship to the transition from welfare to market values in the public sector in Britain. Evaluates the empowerment of women in management in the context of understanding the complex relationships between institutional, personal and interpersonal barriers to women′s leadership.Keywords
