Session Description

This concurrent session is important because women have always been leading: formally and informally. Their leadership has been effective with companies enjoying increased productivity and growth when women are in the highest leadership positions. Yet, while they are well-represented at lower levels in the organization, they are noticeably underrepresented in the highest leadership positions in contemporary organizations. As adult educators this opens up a lucrative opportunity to shape leadership culture from the board room to the classroom and into the communities of society. How adult educators and practitioners can play a significant role in developing collaborative partnerships inside and outside the organization for preparing and sustaining women as leaders will be discussed, along with specific methods of changing contemporary leadership culture.
