Abstract

Despite the efforts to establish gender equality in organizations, intricate processes and
systems hinder women’s advancement into top leadership positions. In this chapter, we
explore many of the organizational-level barriers that impact women leaders, including
hiring, promotion, negotiation, mentoring, networking, and gendered ageism. Understanding
each of these processes will help organizations to establish gender-inclusive strategies and
gender-neutral policies that will allow women and underrepresented minorities (URM) to
navigate the leadership labyrinth more effectively.
