Strategies for Leadership (SL)

Empowering women executives

Corporations and governments worldwide are increasingly concerned about the under-representation of women in executive management and leadership roles. Some have attempted to address the issue by introducing positive discrimination policies. At the same time, the business benefits of “Diversity and Inclusion” are becoming more and more well-established. As of January 2011, 2.6% of Fortune 1,000 companies had a female CEO.

IMD’s Strategies for Leadership (SL) program helps companies to address this imbalance by equipping female executives for greater success in current assignments and preparing them to successfully climb the corporate ladder.

The program specifically focuses on improving skills that have emerged from research as being more in need of development among women than men:

• Communicating vision and strategy
• Networking
• Managing career transitions
• Assertiveness, self-confidence and managing upwards
• Visibility
• Negotiating and influencing

Strategies for Leadership (SL) is a transformational learning experience. Through personal reflection, self-assessment, discussions, experiential learning and executive coaching, you will increase your self-awareness and skills – and develop the ability to lead more effectively and authentically.

Strategies for Leadership will help you to:

• Improve performance and lead more effectively 
• Prepare to take on top-level management roles and board positions
• Build a network of colleagues to serve as mentors and role models
