Executive Program in Women’s Leadership
Act with power, navigate the workplace, and take the lead with new strategies and tactics in this unique women’s leadership program.
It’s no surprise that men and women differ in their leadership styles. But even when they do the same thing, they are often perceived differently. Executive Program in Women’s Leadership will help you understand why and, more importantly, what you can do about it. It’s a research-driven, career-changing experience that will not only transform the way you negotiate and manage teams, it will fundamentally change the way you lead.
This intensive, one-week program relies on research to explore the perceptions, behaviors, stereotypes, and backlash that women uniquely face. Then we transform those empirical results into effective strategies and solutions.
You’ll gain insights from Stanford GSB faculty members who make it their business to challenge your assumptions, confront your fears, and turn obstacles into opportunities. And you’ll experience it all in the company of other dedicated and daring women as you create a personal and professional network you can leverage throughout your career.
