Help Her Thrive: Leadership Strategies for Women’s Success

Ethical leaders share power and put the needs of others first. They are committed to helping all people develop and perform as highly as possible.

Women commonly experience unique workplace challenges due to covert competition, microaggressions, lack of sponsors and mentors, balancing authenticity and assimilation, gaining and retaining power, being heard, increased scrutiny, etc.

However, women’s success is not just a woman’s issue. Without the avid support of men, often the most influential stakeholders in many large corporations, significant progress toward ending gender disparities are unlikely.
