Description

Optimize Your Company's Leadership Potential Develop a more diverse, creative, and resourceful pool of leadership talent for your company. Reinforced by the cutting-edge research and consulting expertise of Catalyst, America's premier nonprofit dedicated to the advancement of women in business, this guide details the best practices of corporations noted for their ability to cultivate and leverage the abilities of their female employees. Stories of initiatives undertaken at Hewlett-Packard, JC Penney, and DuPont, among other companies-coupled with practical, hands-on advice-illustrate a compelling framework organizations can follow to more fully develop their own human capital at a time when no company can ignore a single source of competitive advantage.
