WOMEN IN LEADERSHIP
Resilience, respect, and relevance grow when everyone has equal opportunities to lead.
Research evidence is clear. Having women in the C-Suite impacts how an organization approaches complex challenges and improves performance. Yet, it’s not enough to merely add women to the table. Organizational structure, culture, systems, and policies must foster an environment where talented women are inspired to join, stay, contribute, and rise through the ranks.
The Geffner Group has done original research and written the book on elevating women leaders. We have on-the-ground experience helping organizations create cultures and systems that support the advancement of women leaders and all top talent.
We partner with you to:
Research relevant data and key metrics
Assess and redevelop strategic priorities, practices, and policies
Collaborate with executive leaders to define objectives, expectations, and desired results
Design leadership development programs that support enterprise-wide change and DEI goals

Building a New Leadership Ladder
TRANSFORMING MALE-DOMINATED ORGANIZATIONS TO SUPPORT WOMEN ON THE RISE
More than a how-to guide on how women can ascend to the top, Building a New Leadership Ladder by Carol J. Geffner is a bold call to action for organizations and their leaders to proactively foster the conditions under which women’s efforts to rise up are consistently recognized and rewarded.
The book explores the experiences of women in leadership positions in a male-dominated business world, drawing on extensive research to examine the challenges female executives face in reaching the C-suite. Carol addresses individual and societal unconscious biases with optimism and offers practical solutions to accelerate women's progress, including five key pillars essential for building organizations that consistently support women's leadership.
