Compare the organisation's handling of women's leadership and empowerment with recognised practice, and close the material gaps.
Women in Leadership: Empowerment, Challenges and Making an Impact
Build a working method for women's leadership and empowerment that stands up to scrutiny and survives daily pressure.
Course Overview
When women's leadership and empowerment is unclear, people default to protecting their own function. Teams read what their leaders tolerate on leadership and empowerment far more accurately than what their leaders announce. It treats the organisational leadership capability as an operating discipline and equips participants to run it as one. Participants gain a clear basis for measuring what women's leadership and empowerment has actually achieved. Plans for this part of organisational leadership often fail at the handover point between functions. Benchmarking exercises repeatedly place leadership and empowerment among the areas with the widest performance spread. Sessions alternate between guided analysis of women's leadership and empowerment and supervised application. Participants come from operational and oversight roles, and both perspectives on leadership and empowerment are used deliberately. The final session converts the week's work on the wider organisational leadership agenda into commitments with owners and dates.
