The Residential & Dining Enterprises (R&DE) Women’s Leadership Development Program (WLDP) at Stanford University is dedicated to advancing women leaders through personal and professional development. WLDP was inspired by and modeled after the Women’s Foodservice Forum (WFF), an organization that provides competency development programming especially for women leaders in the foodservice industry.
While the WLDP is focused on the success of women, programming is open to anyone in R&DE interested in personal and professional development.

Competency Development Programs
The R&DE Women’s Leadership Development Program (WLDP) is based on the Core Competency Development Model as established by the Women’s Foodservice Forum (WFF).
This research-based competency model serves as a guide for individuals to identify and define development goals, “beginning with an end in mind.”
About the Core Competency Development Model
There are three main components of the Core Competency Development Model: Self, People, and Business. These overarching categories encompass 12 core competencies that differentiate among individuals at the emerging leader, emerging executive, executive, and c-suite stages of their career.
Developing Self
This component focuses on individual development through assessment, gap analysis, career map, and personal brand identification.
Developing People
Shifting the lens to focus on teams, this component emphasizes communication and listening strategies to cultivate strong relationships that support team growth.
Developing Business
This component emphasizes developing personal skills that will facilitate the growth and success of the business, including financial acumen, strategic visioning, and driving for results.
