Coaching Urged for Women

I’m not trying to prove to you that I read the papers, but this too was a headline in the newspaper. The gist of the article was that the McKinsey study revealed that women have been kept back from reaching the top of the corporate pile because of “inadequate career development.”

To quote: “companies need to spend more time coaching women and offering leadership training…” The article continues to say that women should be actively groomed with coaches or mentors who help them develop and promote their careers.

In my experience, those women with whom I’ve worked on leadership training, corporate politics, personal/professional development and both strategy and tactics for problem-solving, have been able to advance up the corporate ladder very quickly.
