Women’s Leadership Program Design • In order to advance the goals of the WGST program, innovate the present status of WGST programs in the region and country, and most importantly, advance women in society and the workplace, I propose using the Women’s Leadership Program Design model. • Ely, Ibarra and Kolb (2011) proposed the WLP framework: • It takes into account how gender shapes women’s path to leadership without either victimizing or blaming women • Cultivates a sense of agency in women.
Three Design Principles for WLPs • Situate topics and tools in an analysis of second generation gender bias. • Offers a framework that will allow for the diagnosis of second generation gender bias in the workplace and the tools to take action. • Break the cycle of gender bias • Create a “holding environment” to support women’s identity work. • Program should help students create a narrative about their personal experience that is also socially authentic. • Provide a “safe” environment in which students can find a place to belong and develop their identity. • Anchor participants on their leadership purpose. • The focus on purpose allows women to redefine who they need to be and what they need to do in order to remain true to their values and goals.
