So I work for a large, wonderful, extremely family friendly company. However the only senior leader in my department just went on Mat leave and now it's 100% men on the functional board. This concerns me, as at the level down (where I am) it's more like 50/50. And I'm a feminist- this ain't right. But I also think the solution ISN'T quotas or over promoting female candidates.
I don't just want to moan- I want to take a proposal to the company that they create a development program to accelerate women with senior leadership potential.
So, if you were taking female middle/senior managers and accelerating their development to board level... What would you do? External mentoring? Secondment? With who? External courses? Networking opportunities? Where and with who?
Ps- I think I have the kudos to propose this- I have track record.
