In this era of growth, where people protest for righteousness, men are still perceived as dominant and women as subordinate. In this article we will discuss about how women leadership development program in India can help chart fast-tracked growth path for female employees. Over the decades, women have emerged as bold and strong by crossing the boundaries placed by man; they are still far from where they should be. In most places in the world, women’s participation in managerial and administrative posts is below average as reported by a research conducted by PhD research service provider. Women tend to be in sales, domestic services, clerical and men in manufacturing and transport. Either they are paid less, or their work is unaccounted for. According to the International Business Report, the percentage of women to be recruited for senior positions in India is 19 in 2013, which has decremented to 14 in 2014. In Indian companies, the most common position obtained by women in the corporate world is the post of human resource director (about 21%). As per the stats, Indian companies have insignificant female representation in senior roles such as general/office manager, director, and president/vice president. What is even more alarming is that the Government has been little inclined to increase this percentage.

What most of us fail to understand is that even ordinary women can be leader, whether in their homes or in their countries. And for this, they must become far more involved in the affairs of their societies. The short answer to empowering women is to impart leadership qualities among them which can be attained through communicative learning. Leadership skills are a valuable asset for women’s empowerment all over the world. With good leadership, not only women but all of the society will gain economically, politically, and culturally by leveling the power imbalance between women and men. Developing a leadership training program for mid-level women executives in India can help them understand their leadership style such that they can develop it, practice it and apply it in the real world. A leadership training program should:

Emphasis on self-awareness and human dynamics

Discuss and find solutions to real-life issues

Impart experience-based learning
