ManpowerGroup: Create Environments that Develop Women Leaders

Women Remain Under-represented in Leadership Roles Despite Chronic Talent Shortages

DAVOS, Switzerland, Jan. 25, 2013 /PRNewswire/ — ManpowerGroup (NYSE: MAN), the world leader in innovative workforce solutions and World Economic Forum (WEF) strategic partner, advises companies to embrace greater flexibility in order to empower women leaders in an era of unpredictability that demands new approaches to doing business.

Not Tapping Own Resources?

In her opening plenary remarks at the WEF Annual Meeting, International Monetary Fund Managing Director Christine Lagarde urged the business world to focus on inclusive growth, saying, “The evidence is clear; when women do better, economies do better. 70% of all consumption decisions in the world are made by women.”

“The world simply cannot afford such a poor representation of half the talent pool when filling key leadership positions is posing such a global challenge.

“Growing the pipeline of women in management roles is critical to having the talent businesses need to win,” said Mara Swan, ManpowerGroup Executive Vice President, Global Strategy and Talent.

“Companies should revisit old-fashioned work models and people practices so that high-performing women are not prevented from rising to leadership positions.”

What Are Your Thoughts??

✔  In the years I traveled as a client executive sponsor, in any country very rarely did I come across a woman when dealing with the management and/or executive level — are you noticing any trends, changes in your workplace?

✔  If you are an independent consultant, what — if any — changes are you seeing when it comes to the management and/or executive levels? Are you seeing changes in attitude? in actions? in talk?

✔  From these reports, does it sound like the the stero-typical views are diminishing when it comes to Senior Management and Higher?

✔  Outside of HR and Payroll, very rarely is a woman encountered. The decades have proven government intervention is never a positive solution — what professional organizations are taking this situation to task besides ManpowerGlobal?

Book Description : About the Book Author

Release date: December 27, 2011

The Remarkable discoveries about what drives and sustains successful women leaders.

Based on 5 years of proprietary research, How Remarkable Women Lead: The Breakthrough Model for Work and Life speaks to you as no other book has, with its hopeful outlook and unique ideas about success. It’s the new “right stuff” of leadership, raising provocative issues such as whether feminine leadership traits (for women and men) are better suited for our fast-changing, hyper-competitive, and increasingly complex world.

The authors, McKinsey & Company consultants Joanna Barsh and Susie Cranston, establish the links between joy, happiness, and distinctive performance with the groundbreaking model of Centered Leadership.

The book’s personal stories and related insights show you the magic that happens when you put the five elements of Centered Leadership–meaning, framing, connecting, engaging, and energizing–to work. They include:

• How Alondra de la Parra built on her strengths and passions to infuse her life with meaning and make her way in the male-dominated world of orchestra conducting
• How Andrea Jung, the CEO of Avon, avoided a downward spiral when the company turned down by “firing herself” on Friday and re-emerging on Monday as the “new” turnaround CEO
• How Ruth Porat’s sponsors at Morgan Stanley not only helped her grow but were also her ballast for coping with difficult personal and professional times
• How Eileen Naughton recovered after losing her dream job, landing on her feet at Google and open to a new leadership opportunity
• How Julie Coates of Woolworth’s Australia makes energy key to her professional success, with reserves for her “second shift” as wife and mother

How Remarkable Women Lead is both profoundly moving and actionable. Woman or man, you’ll find yourself in its pages and emerge with a practical plan for breaking through at both work and in life.
