A key focus of HR and talent management systems must be to attract and retain the best senior leaders for the organisation in terms of qualifications, experience and perspectives which should be as diverse as the organisation itself and its stakeholders. The number of executive leadership positions available in any organisation each year is small. It is a very competitive environment, and women are underrepresented at the executive leadership level compared to the level of women participation in the workforce and their counterparts at middle management levels. Facilitating gender diversity in executive leadership pathways is one important element (among others) of best practice in HR and talent management. In this presentation, Dr Leahy will attempt to deconstruct some common gender stereotypes and provide strategic information on how to optimise women’s opportunities to compete fairly at the executive leadership level.
