It argues that a specific coaching approach for women is not only possible but necessary.

The New Psychology of Leadership: Identity, Influence and Power
According to John Adair, the most important word in the leader's vocabulary is "we" and the least important word is "I".
If this is true, it raises the question: why do psychological analyses of leadership always focus on the leader as an individual – as the great "I"? One answer is that theorists and practitioners have never properly understood the psychology of "we-ness".
This book addresses the issue with a new psychology of leadership that is the result of two decades of research inspired by social identity and self-categorization theories.
Michael Bond has reviewed this book in detail in the journal Nature.
