Advancing Women's Leadership: Blocking Bias at Work

Women make up half the population and have earned more than half of all undergraduate degrees in the U.S. since the early 1980s; yet women comprise only 17% of the U.S Congress, 4% of Fortune 500 CEOs, and 16% of the board of directors of major corporations. Learn the mechanisms underpinning the lack of women leaders and how organizations and individuals can increase women’s leadership. Speakers: Shelley Correll is the Barbara D. Finberg Director of the Clayman Institute for Gender Research and founder of the new Center for the Advancement of Women’s Leadership, professor of sociology at Stanford, and, by courtesy, organizational behavior at the Stanford Graduate School of Business. Lori Nishiura Mackenzie is the executive director of the Stanford Clayman Institute for Gender Research; she holds an MBA from the Wharton School of Business. Recorded on October 22, 2015, in collaboration with the Stanford Alumni Association, as part of the Graduate School of Business Fall Reunion/Alumni Weekend and Stanford Reunion Homecoming.
