Due to recent health and safety concerns, this meeting has been moved to a virtual format.
Today, we’ve all heard about the leadership gender gap, or experienced it firsthand in our own career. But did you know that perception (not skills or competencies) has the most significant impact on career advancement?
This chapter meeting is based on the best-selling book, "The Power of Perception: Leadership, Emotional Intelligence, and the Gender Divide."
We'll explore barriers and misperceptions in the workplace. We'll discuss the impact of gender culture and EQ on men and women’s behaviors, and will learn how Millennials and Gen Z are positively impacting work. The latest research, specific examples, and real-world case studies will be discussed. The speaker will provide strategies for individuals and organizations that support career growth, gender parity, and diversity.
Learning Objectives
- Examine barriers that contribute to the leadership gender gap
- Identify emotional intelligence attributes and their impact on leadership
- Explore how gender differences impact perception and promotion
- Apply individual and organizational strategies to minimize barriers to advancement
