Women Leadership and Empowerment
Insights
Many organizations around the world have recognized the need for active female leaders in business today to address systemic challenges and drive transformation. The challenges of women in leadership positions are real and multifaceted. A recent Forbes article highlighted a McKinsey/LeanIn international study which found that women occupy 48% of entry-level positions, but only 24% of C-suite positions. An additional challenge was noted by a ResumeLab study which found that 55% of respondents to a survey believe women in managerial positions are held to higher performance standards than men.
While foundational leadership skills are the same for men and women, women face additional challenges in today’s workplace. The key to unravelling and addressing these challenges is by building a solid foundation of strong leadership skills and resilience, becoming aware of existing biases, and being equipped with the necessary tools that support effective decision making, empowering team members, and influencing others. After all, every leader is measured by his or her ability to achieve results with and through their team!
