The present paper studies the role literature can play in management in general and in leadership, organizational behavior and communication in particular. Literature normally gets a skeptical reception in management studies. The paper discusses the relevance of literature for a better understanding of human behaviour and a judicious discernment of situations, preferences and consequences.

Much water has flowed under the bridge since the gender equality trumpets reverberated the business corridors. Yet, a study in the December 2014 issue of Harvard Business Review stated that the disparity between the two sexes with respect to movement to top positions remained nearly intact and according to the recent International Business Report by Grant Thornton, 14% of women represented senior management in India, 24% globally and only 12% businesses had a female CEO. Surprisingly no noteworthy change has been observed and the figure remained almost the same in 2015, 2014, 2013, 2009 and 2007. Against this back...
