E2 - Women’s Leadership at Work: Remembering How Ginger Rogers Did Everything Fred Astaire Did but Backwards and in High Heels

In a workplace that agonizes over how to deal with Millennials (and the even scarier kids who will follow), while dealing with a looming demographic challenge of unprecedented proportions and trying to master social media and digital technology trends that change faster than Madonna’s look, women’s leadership may not be THE answer, but might well be part of the answer.

Women – and the companies that trust them – stand to reap key benefits from these opportunities for at least two reasons. First, the emerging focus on skills and strengths which were, until fairly recently, typically undervalued and which women often possess. Second, ongoing technological advances are creating work environments where jobs can fit women’s lifestyle demands more closely than ever before.

This presentation will be an opportunity to discuss and explore one potential, albeit partial, solution to some very real and basic issues faced by many companies in today’s economy.

Workplace application – This session will provide insights into new opportunities arising from the changes marking the past decade and address how they impact ways to attract, motivate, mobilize and engage a new breed of employees.
