Training women for management: changing priorities

A number of top executive women were interviewed to determine their beliefs concerning the needs of women for management training and development. Results, which are compared with those in an earlier examination, show that socialization and skills development needs remain important, while no current concern was found for training concerning stereotyping. Communication and networking, and power and politics are seen as issues that have increased substantially in importance and that are now areas in which substantial training remains to be done.
