L2S E65: Please stop being baffled about the leadership gender gap

<p>Lead to Soar! is a production of A Career that Soars</p> <p>Recent research tells us (again) that women outperform men on a range of different leadership metrics. That same research informs us that leaders are baffled that, given how competent women are, there are more of us at the top of organizations. Well, we want you to stop your bafflement about the leadership gender gap. It might be an okay place to start, but leaders must move on from admiring the problem and start taking action. And that does not mean enrolling all your workers in unconscious bias training! In this episode, Mel Butcher and Michelle Redfern call on leaders to take deliberate action to change the playing field to support their female talent pipeline.</p> <p>~</p> <p><strong>Resources</strong></p> <ul> <li>Sign up for <a href= "https://a-career-that-soars.mn.co/posts/who-are-you-called-to-become" target="_blank" rel="noopener">A Career that Soars! *Premium</a></li> </ul> <p>~</p> <p><strong>Bio for Michelle Redfern</strong></p> <p>Michelle is the founder of <a href= "https://michelleredfern.com/">Advancing Women</a>, an enterprise providing research and advisory services on workplace gender equality, inclusion and diversity.
