This is a crucial reason why women are stuck in middle management. No matter how effectively women follow conventional advice – including to ‘lean in’ – they cannot count on it to get them to the top,” stated Colantuono. “Leading Women offers corporations who are serious about developing top talent and creating a level playing field the solutions they need to overcome the common barriers to women’s advancement.”
