Leading a Glass-Shattering Organization
Wednesday, December 1, 2021
This program was presented live on Zoom twice:
Session 1: 8:30–9:45 a.m. EST
Session 2: 5:30–6:45 p.m. EST
For years, women have made up roughly half of the college-educated workforce in the United States. Yet, women remain underrepresented in positions of power, status, and leadership. In their new book, Glass Half Broken: Shattering the Barriers That Still Hold Women Back at Work, co-authors HBS Race, Gender & Equity Initiative Director Colleen Ammerman and Professor Boris Groysberg break apart myths about why gender inequality persists and what can be done about it. In this program, they use a research-informed perspective to explore practical strategies companies can use to mitigate and overcome the barriers that hold women back.
Please note: Advancing gender equity requires leadership from everyone, so men as well as women were encouraged to attend.
