Harnessing the Leadership Potential of Women
A development programme designed to strengthen the confidence, capability and leadership impact of women – while helping organisations build a stronger, more diverse leadership pipeline.
Grounded in Transpersonal Leadership, the programme combines Emotional Intelligence, practical leadership development and individual support to help participants lead with greater confidence, authenticity and impact.
Greater gender balance in leadership can bring important benefits to organisations, including wider perspectives, stronger collaboration and a broader range of leadership behaviours.
LeaderShape Global’s research using LEIPA® identified areas in which women, on average, demonstrated strengths across a number of Emotional Intelligence competencies relevant to effective leadership. The Developing Women Leaders programme is designed to build on these strengths while supporting areas such as confidence, influence, career development and leadership impact.
Why Develop Women Leaders?
Developing women leaders is about more than representation. It is about creating the conditions in which talented leaders can build confidence, strengthen their leadership range and progress into more senior roles.
For organisations, this supports a stronger leadership pipeline, greater diversity of thought and a more inclusive approach to leadership and decision-making.
What the Research Shows
Our research using LEIPA® highlighted a number of Emotional Intelligence areas in which women tended to perform strongly, including empathy, transparency, developing others and change leadership.
The programme uses these insights as part of a broader development journey, helping participants understand their own leadership profile and where they can make the greatest difference.
