U.S. Office of Personnel Management - Ensuring the Federal Government has an effective civilian workforce

Although 44% of the professional employees in the Federal Executive Branch are women, only 29% of the Senior Executive Service is female.  The Women’s Leadership Seminar has been created to help women in managerial positions understand and deal with the challenges, concerns and trade-offs unique to being a woman in a leadership role. Participants will understand, practice and improve leadership skills while exploring the experiences of top-level female Government leaders. Additional topics include organizational issues around power, influence and the unwritten rules of the workplace. Small groups will research and develop action plans for improving leadership skills and readiness for promotion.

Managers and others with leadership or management responsibilities who are interested in improving their leadership potential and understanding the unique challenges for women as leaders
