Share Your Voice: Women and the Future of Leadership
Thanks to Go Lead Idaho member Cece Gassner for sharing this opportunity from the Apollo Research Institute. Let's be sure that the study includes input from Idaho's women leaders!
Women and the Future of Leadership Since the 1970s, women’s participation in higher education and the workforce has soared. Women now outpace men in their attainment of management positions and advanced degrees. To examine how gender, generation, and geography are reshaping the workplace and creating new demands for innovative leadership, Apollo Research Institute is conducting a study of women leaders in the 21st-century workforce. “As women command unprecedented power in politics and business and represent a formidable force in today’s economy, now is the time to help individuals and organizations better understand the changing nature of leadership in the 21st century,” said Apollo Research Institute Vice President and Managing Director Dr. Tracey Wilen-Daugenti, the study’s principal investigator and a leading authority on the convergence of technology, education and work. For the study, to be released in January 2013, Wilen-Daugenti and her team will interview up to 200 women entrepreneurs and executives in diverse fields to examine their leadership and negotiation styles, work-life balance, and essential work skills. The research team will also conduct a national survey on 21st-century leadership to provide additional perspectives and insights. Women business owners, community and corporate leaders (director level and above) are invited to contact info@apolloresearchinstitute.com and visit apolloresearchinstitute.com for information.
