Intentional Leadership Development Programming for Advancing Women Leaders
Susan Colby; Tracie McLemore Salinas
Journal of Faculty Development, v35 n1 p27-33 2021
Higher education is challenged by its lack of women leaders but perhaps more so by the lack of unique skills and perspectives that women tend to bring to leadership roles. As part of a comprehensive program portfolio, Appalachian State University has intentionally designed leadership development opportunities that support and empower women and cultivate a culture within which women's leadership skills are valued and effective. This article describes how our institution is meeting the unique needs of women leaders through complementary programs focused on providing education, experience, and exposure (Kaye & Giulioni, 2012). Findings demonstrate the importance of cultivating leaders who support women faculty as well as targeting women's leadership capacity specifically.
