There are 4 primary challenges that exist for women wanting to advance in leadership roles within male dominated industries and organizations. These challenges can be related to ladder rungs that are Broken, Missing, Slippery, and Sticky. In this presentation, we will not only talk about what causes each of these hazards and how to help your female employees overcome them, but also what organizations can do to eliminate these challenges. Eliminating these 4 challenges is the real solution to creating #OneLadder that is an equitable and safe climb for all team members.
