Using Power in Relationships with Women and Men at Work:
What's the Difference?
. . . a day long workshop for women designed to equip you with new ‘power tools’ . . .
The effective, ethical use of power is one of the less explored topics in leadership development, especially for women. Yet, power is one of the basic currencies of leadership: without it, how do you get anything done?
What is power? What are the different types available whether you're in formal or informal leadership roles? And most importantly, how do you employ it differently with men and with women - because the two genders tend to be very different in their approaches and responses to its use.
In this seminar, you will:
- Identify the unwritten rules that govern how men and women respond to women's use of power in the workplace
- Reflect on how your ethics are related to your power
- Experiment with the bases, sources, and masculine and feminine languages of power – those you already use, and those you don't but could
- Learn traps and pitfalls to avoid, and best practices to employ
- Expand your network to include other dynamic, female Twin Cities’ leaders
