New Whitepaper from Darden Executive Education & Lifelong Learning Considers Paths to Advancement for Women in the Workplace
By Dave Hendrick
Gender disparity — in salaries, in roles and in leadership opportunities — continues to be a fact in nearly every facet of the working world. Women earn considerably less than men in comparable roles globally and hold only one-third of senior leadership positions in the U.S. Fewer than 10 percent of Fortune 500 companies are led by women.
These statistics persist even as research overwhelmingly points to benefits for organizations that have strong female leadership.
In a new whitepaper, four professors at the University of Virginia Darden School of Business share evidence-backed techniques and tools that women in leadership can leverage to reconfigure the playing field — for themselves and others.
The whitepaper, which features insights from Professors Allison Elias, Yael Grushka-Cockayne, Sean Martin and Laura Morgan Roberts, includes the topics:
- Leveraging difference to drive change and add value
- Reducing complexity in decision-making
- Rethinking negotiation strategies to build stronger relationships
- Building influence at every point in the leadership journey
- Harnessing positive feedback to inform career direction
