The Gender Leadership Gap

Women account for 57 percent of the U.S. workforce, and 60 percent of bachelor’s degrees in Europe and the United States. However, only 4 percent of Fortune 500 CEOs are female, and there are a multitude of barriers that contribute to this global leadership gender gap. In addition, research has identified an individual’s emotional intelligence (EQ) as a key aspect and driver of leadership effectiveness. EQ assessments have found women and men to be equally as intelligent emotionally, but strong in different areas considered gender-specific. Finally, men and women are raised in different “cultures.” It begins at childhood and carries into the workplace. Research shows clear differences in how men and women work within a structure, network, conduct meetings, interpret information, take risks, communicate, work in teams, and how we lead.
Shawn Andrews will discuss findings from her doctoral dissertation research on leadership, emotional intelligence, and gender, and will address the following topics in this webcast:

the leadership gender gap
barriers to leadership
emotional intelligence
gender culture differences
recommendations for individuals and organizations.

After the webcast, participants will be able to:

Examine barriers that contribute to the leadership gender gap.
Identify emotional intelligence attributes and their impact on leadership.
Explore how gender culture differences affect perception and promotion.
Apply global-focused strategies to maximize talent, remove barriers, and increase diversity and inclusion practices.

Science of Learning: ASTD 2014 Conference Preview

Women now account for more than half of the U.S. workforce and outpace men in the number of bachelor, master’s, and doctoral degrees. Despite these achievements, only 4 percent of CEOs at Fortune 500 companies are women. Given these statistics, a shift to a more gender-balanced senior management should be a reasonable, expected outcome.
In addition, we know that emotional intelligence (EQ) is a key driver of both work and life success. EQ assessments have found women and men to be equally emotionally intelligent, but strong in different areas considered gender-specific—and these differences affect the perception of women leaders. Finally, research shows clear differences between men and women in virtually every aspect of business—how we work within a structure, network, conduct meetings, interpret information, take risks, communicate, work in teams, and lead.
This webcast will discuss findings from the presenter’s research on leadership, EQ, and gender and how they affect the perception and promotion of women, and provide practical strategies for organizations and individuals. Topics will include:

current leadership gender gap statistics
barriers to leadership
gender-specific EQ competencies
gender culture differences
recommendations for organizations to increase diversity and inclusion practices
practical strategies for both women and men to improve EQ and overcome barriers.
