While women have been a critical element of the workforce since the beginning of time, it’s only recently that women in leadership have become a holy grail for major organizations that want to be seen as open and welcoming places to work. The data is clear that organizations with significant representation of women (and other diverse leadership) on their boards and in their executive suites, regularly out-perform those with more homogenous leadership. Despite the overwhelming data that demonstrate women are good for business, organizations seeking to support women in leadership roles, not to mention the women themselves, continue to be frustrated by systemic and cultural barriers to success.
And yet, many women succeed despite the barriers put in their way. What are they doing right? How are their mentors helping them? What are their companies doing to change historically discriminatory dynamics? What are the best practices to create gender equality? In this guide to Women In Leadership, you’ll find a comprehensive look at the hard facts as well as the soft skills that help women become powerful contributors at the most senior levels of any organization. I’m often asked to speak and share my resources and perspectives on women in leadership. After years of culling good resources, I’ve put them into this comprehensive guide to help my clients, colleagues and connections identify good information sources and positive steps to take to help women rise to greater levels of leadership. We update this guide regularly, you’ll find the most recent version at InPowerWomen.com.
