You may have heard some of these questions at your own organization:

  • What are the common barriers that women face in advancing to leadership positions, and how can our organization address them?
  • How can we create a supportive culture that encourages the growth and development of female leaders?
  • How can we ensure that our recruitment and promotion processes are fair and equitable for women?
  • What role do male leaders and colleagues play in supporting women in leadership, and how can we engage them effectively?

Women in Leadership: a 21 st Century Perspective with Pat Summitt Leadership Group helps answer some of those burning questions!

As a championship-winning coach, Pat Summitt knew a thing or two about women in leadership. Her career journey intersected with a pivotal moment in history known as “Title IX”—a federal law that transformed the landscape of women’s extracurriculars in the U.S. Summitt’s influence transcended the world of sports to gender equality at a time when women were coming into their own—specifically, the mid-1970s until her untimely death in 2016.

Since then, you could argue things have been improving for women in leadership roles. More and more women are reaching the top levels of leadership in a variety of fields. But there are still many challenges that stop women from getting there as easily as their male counterparts. Understanding why there aren’t more women in leadership roles means looking at a myriad of different things. It’s not just about hiring data—it’s about the way society still perceives women and men…and how that carries over into the workforce and affects who gets to be a leader.
