Regarding what it will take for women to overcome institutional and personal barriers to success, Sheryl Sandberg, COO of Facebook recently argued, “If we start acknowledging what the real issues are, we can solve them. It’s not that hard.” In response, the goal of this symposium is to connect practicing executives and scholars, in order to facilitate a continuing dialogue between these groups regarding the difficulties women face as they climb the corporate ladder and the issues they face once they enter the upper echelon. In order for scholars to engage in research having the potential to bring about change, we must develop a deeper understanding of the realities female executives encounter from their own point of view. As scholars, we must also cultivate conduits for communicating our research findings to the practitioner audience. The purpose of this symposium is to set these important plans in motion by bringing executives and scholars together. Our panel will include female executives, strategic leadership and diversity scholars.
