Abstract Details

2016, Doctor of Management, Case Western Reserve University, Weatherhead School of Management.
As organizations contend with how to prepare the next generation of leaders amidst all the discourse about the challenges associated with the multigenerational workplace, important dynamics related to developing female leaders are being lost. The advancement of women presents a compelling opportunity for organizations. Women have been progressing their education and participation in the U.S. workforce, yet the number of women in leadership positions has been modest. Addressing the low rates of women in leadership roles is particularly important today as the millions of Baby Boomers retire and organizations contemplate how to prepare Generation X and Generation Y professionals to fill the leadership ranks. A mixed methods study of 691 U.S. professionals shows that generation affiliation does limit career commitment and reveals that mentorship provides Gen X and Gen Y women with specific leader development guidance that is different than their male peers in relation to building leader traits, growth areas, self-awareness, management style, and ownership. The results of this study can contribute to the development of more robust mentorship and succession planning programs.
