    Women Research Summary: Men Vs. Coaching Women

    SKAI is a long established leadership development consultancy, that has coached 100’s of senior leaders, men and women, over the years. As an organisation founded by four women, we have always fought shy of any gender-based typecasting, taking the stance that all people are different, regardless of their sex. More recently, we have been asked to get involved in furthering the cause of women leaders, as many organisations are interested in tapping this pool of talent. They have found it very challenging to do so, and recent research done by a leading consultancy shows that women in middle managerial positions are exiting the workplace faster than ever. Whilst women…

    The Role Of Women In The United States

    The role of women in the United States has changed dramatically in the last 50 years. The proportion of women attending college, matriculating from graduate schools, and obtaining doctorate degrees has increased dramatically. No longer are women associated with low expectations both in education and the workforce. Women now seek and receive the highest leadership roles in education, professions, and business. For example, according to Laff (2006), in the banking industry women holds several management positions and in human resource management. Given these significant increases in women-owned business and upper-level management position in and organization setting, one might conclude that this migration of women towards leadership roles has been successful in management positions.…

    Sexism In Military

    “Although in recent years women have increased their representation in the labor market, they remain under-leveraged as a source of talent and leadership in employing organizations in nearly every country around the globe” (Festing). In male-dominated organizations, women are under high amounts of pressure to perform and prevent mistakes (Festing). Studies have also shown that women are more likely to search for a job in a career where they are less likely to be discriminated against; suggesting that women are being intimidated by male-dominated organizations (Polavieja). “Women only constitute 4.6% of CEO positions and 19.2% of board of directors at S&P’s 500 companies” (Festing). A large amount of leadership positions have lower salaries for women than for men with the same job description. This disparity is unfounded and most times detrimental to companies. Research shows that women have positive impacts on company performance due to their unique contributions to decision—making processes and their team building and communication skills (Festing). In fact, female managers are more aware of the importance of giving direct and participative feedback to employees and at the same time are also more open to receiving feedback (Festing). Women are more receptive to reciprocal communication and can concentrate on relationship building within a team, whereas men are more competitive and desire individual…
