You don' have to act like a man to succeed in business for you
will always be judged as a woman. But you can't get ahead unless you
understand the business culture and know how to use to your advantage.
- Pat Helm
Women have made great strides in both business and professional world. They are
emerging as a strong work force in very unconventional areas like IT, Science, Defence
services traditionally dominated by men. There are however, still impediments to the best
and the brightest women professionals as they struggle through the labyrinth to climb
the ladder of achievement. A large number of them still occupy middle and low-level
positions, managing staff roles, and a few significant numbers have reached the top.
Women cannot change or undo the family and social influences on them; they need to
learn to manage their own personality more effectively. While they have to learn to
succeed and fulfill their potential, they also need to resolve the issues of role
expectations, role balancing and attain acceptance and respect at the work place. The
effectiveness at work depends on their ability in balancing work-family and confronting
the challenge of blending their strengths with appropriate managerial skills and behavior.
WHY A SPECIAL PROGRAM?
Women executives share different realities and problems from their male counterparts,
which resulted from the socialization process, stereotyping etc. There are conflicts of
traditional and modern life roles, creates a complex network of forces of pulls and
pushes determining their overall effectiveness both at home and at work place. In this
process, women become more concerned about living up to others expectations than
deriving satisfaction from their own performance. Therefore, a need for an exclusive
program arose which will provide opportunities to develop new insights into work-family
balance, their well-being, managerial effectiveness and career success.
PROGRAM OBJECTIVES
If the game is about winning, then it stands to reason that to succeed in this competitive
environment, women executives need to understand what is going on and develop
strategies that will allow them to make a difference. The program aims to:
• Explore and understand self, the role demands and work life balance
• Develop skills and attitudes for enhanced managerial/leadership effectiveness
