Preparing a Strong Pipeline of Women Leaders for 2021 and Beyond

The need for leadership development for women is now at an all-time high—but for what specific reasons? Because, in these chaotic times, there is overwhelming data to indicate women in leadership positions are much more likely to downshift their careers—or put them on hold entirely due to competing priorities, blurred lines between personal and professional lives, and other complications of the changing business world.

So where does that leave your organization? Make sure you are prepared to fill those roles, if necessary, while ensuring continued leadership opportunities for women to reflect your commitment to a diverse and inclusive workforce. To make this a practical reality, it’s crucial that you support women in developing the skills they need to lead change, meet tough new challenges, and become transformational leaders.
