We all know leadership styles vary based on an individual’s background and personality. This session will consider how generational differences also impact leadership styles—all through a female lens. The panelists will explore how the female perspective has changed over the past four decades and how those perspectives are helping to shape the public works industry. They will share personal stories on the industry’s landscape when they entered the workforce, and the challenges and positive experiences they encountered that helped form their careers. The session will provide insight on the differences between an advocate, sponsor, and mentor—and the importance of each one. Attendees will be challenged to consider how they can become one and how they can find one. The session will challenge how participants think about diversity and how to attract a more diverse workforce. The panelists will also share strategies on how to create a more inclusive environment.
