Purpose Reviews the latest management developments across the globe and pinpoints practical implications from cutting-edge research and case studies. Design/methodology/approach This briefing is prepared by an independent writer who adds their own impartial comments and places the articles in context. Findings Portrayals of superiors in film or on television are rarely positive. Think about it for a second. The cliche of the boss or supervisor is of an aggressive male, barking orders at employees, showing barely any humanity and never satisfied by anything his charges do for him. Alternatively, there is the stereotypically “hard-assed” woman boss who is similarly unyielding or sometimes the other end of the spectrum is used, and a boss is shown to be slightly deranged or so ineffectual as to be rendered irrelevant by their subordinates. Practical Implications Provides strategic insights and practical thinking that have influenced some of the world’s leading organizations.

Purpose This paper aims to review the latest management developments across the globe and pinpoint practical implications from cutting-edge research and case studies. Design/methodology/approach This briefing is prepared by an independent writer who adds their own impartial comments and places the articles in context. Findings Does ambition differ between men and women? This question is fraught with danger on so many levels, and perhaps as a result it remains rather a taboo issue. The traditional, patriarchal “Mad Men” view is that men are more ambitious than women and more successful, but that women are “changing” and transporting their competitiveness into the workplace. Thankfully, things have moved on since then, although by how much is perhaps another moot point.
