Recenzii

"... an important and timely contribution to the statistical profession, and will be of interest to male and female statisticians alike, at any point in their careers, whether they work in academia, government, industry or private consulting. This volume should not only be of interest to those who aspire to leadership positions, but also to everyone working in the field of statistics, because a central tenet of the book is that leadership is a core component of our jobs as statisticians. ... Leadership and Women in Statistics is packed with personal accounts of the leadership experiences and thoughts on leadership of many luminaries in statistics. It features the contributions and leadership of many women statisticians. It provides a wealth of information about what constitutes leadership in its many forms and in a variety of employment sectors. It is a dense read but well worth the time. Leadership and Women in Statistics will be a wonderful addition to anyone’s personal library or the library of one’s institution. The editors of and contributors to Leadership and Women in Statistics have made a significant contribution to the profession that will help practicing statisticians find their own paths or assist others in finding their paths to leadership."
—Ellen Snyder, PhD, Biostatistics and Research Decision Sciences, Merck & Co., Inc., North Wales, Pennsylvania, USA, from Journal of Biopharmaceutical Statistics
" . . . this book contains a wealth of information for statisticians considering leadership roles and addresses challenges for women leaders in particular. All contributors are to be complimented on their thoughtful and careful writing about their respective topics. The book is a must read for statisticians in the early stages of their careers, for statisticians looking for leadership advice, for scientists trying to get a better understanding of organizational challenges, and especially for those already serving in leadership positions since leadership is a process requiring continuing education and development."
—Marianne Huebner, International Society for Clinical Biostatistics
"There are numerous books in the market about leadership, but few, if any, targeted at the statistics profession. What makes statisticians different? …this book brings to the forefront issues specific to women in statistics, in particular women statisticians as leaders. To the best of my knowledge, this is the most that has been written about statistical leadership in one place, and remarkably, it also highlights women in statistics. The book comes from a number of senior leaders … with diverse backgrounds in government, academia, industry, and consulting. It is worth noting that there are a number of men among the authors; men should also include themselves among the readership. It is clear throughout that the authors are not speaking specifically to women, and that the book was written with a wide audience in mind. Anyone with interest in advancing their statistical career and increasing the impact of their work would be well served by reading this book. It would also be a great addition to departmental and professional libraries and useful as a supplement to professional development courses."
The American Statistician
" . . . the editors did a great job choosing and recruiting successful individuals with high visibility in the field of statistics. . . This reader especially enjoyed the chapters in which authors wove their personal stories with sage advice for leadership and for living in general."
Dalene Stangl, Duke University
"The book explains how to convert a passion for statistical science into visionary, ethical, and transformational leadership. Although the context focuses on statistics, the material applies to almost all fields of endeavor. This book is a valuable resource for those ready to consider leadership as an important element of their careers, and for those who are already leaders but want to deepen their perspectives on leadership. It makes an ideal text for group leadership training as well as for individual professional development."
