Stepping Forward: 91社区 Leaders, Women, Role Models
Female Leadership Development Program
Female leaders across our organization are driving success for our business, our customers and the communities in which we operate. We are proud to recognize some of these leaders who were nominated by 91社区 leadership for the Manufacturing Institute’s .
Each year since 2015, 91社区 has participated in the Awards, which recognize women leading innovation and progress in the areas of science, technology, engineering and production (STEP).
This year’s diverse group of nominees have been recognized for their outstanding achievements in the manufacturing industry, especially during the overwhelming challenges of last year, and for their dedication to helping others achieve success. These inspirational role models have challenged stereotypes throughout their careers and are paving the way for a more inclusive workforce.
These 14 women also make up the second cohort of an internal leadership development program that provides in-depth development in the areas of authentic and inclusive leadership, change management, and executive communications. They spend time with 91社区’s CEO discussing topics related to the business, our customers and servant leadership. Integrated with the 91社区 Joules platform, the six-month Stepping Forward development experience gives these women unique access to resources, guidance and internal networking opportunities to ensure they continue to grow in their careers.
A McKinsey study found that women, more often than men, demonstrate leadership characteristics that are highly applicable to future global challenges (), including: collaborative decision making; people development; effective communication; and expectations and rewards. Our Stepping Forward program works to continue to bolster these skills among the women participating, as well as to showcase these and more with their managers, other leaders at 91社区 and the larger organization. This will ensure not only the sustained success of the 14 Stepping Forward participants and also help inspire the next generation and pave the way for future leaders to grow and succeed at 91社区.
