Sally Helgesen:
Weaving Webs of Inclusion
Friday, April 27, 2007; 10AM (Eastern)
Acclaimed author, speaker and researcher Sally Helgesen whose book The Female Advantage: Women’s Ways of Leadership hailed as the “the classical work” on the subject, discusses implications on “real leadership” as defined by increasingly diverse organizations. Sally’s early work focussed on what women have to contribute to the workplace rather than what they lack or how they need to change. Her work catalyzed contemporary models of leadership and organizational culture. Helgesen is currently researching how the diversity of values impacts employees’ definitions and strategies for pursuing satisfaction in the workplace. Sally Helgesen joins Diversity Matters’ Co-Hosts Richard Friend and Judy Seidenstein to examine implications of the “female brain drain,” generational diversity, and web based organizational structures on workplace diversity and inclusion efforts.
