Women in Leadership - Increasing Diversity and Inclusion

Overview

What you will study

Using an evidence base, the Women in Leadership - Increasing Diversity and Inclusion course at the University of Oxford will explore thoughts and behaviours that feed our expectations of women, and how we can support and liberate men and women (where necessary) to produce their best work, and flourish.

You will have the opportunity to work through a case study, and consider ways in which organisations, and the men and women in them, play a part in overcoming stereotypes.

By the end of the course you will be able to: 

• Recognise some of the key mechanisms affecting the perception of female behaviour and its limitations
• Identify where those mechanisms may be at play in your organization
• Explore some common thought and behaviour patterns that often limit success
• Identify stretegies, techniques and events from the lives of some real-world examples of successful women
• Considered the advantages, and potential for success of female leadership in future workspaces
