Women Mentoring Women for Momentum: The Next Step in Leading While Female

Bys: Arriaga, Trudy Tuttle, Stanley, Stacie Lynn, Lindsey, Delores B.

Close the gender equity gap with powerful mentoring relationships

According to a recent report, women earned 73% of doctorates in education, but only hold one-third of the school superintendent's jobs in the United States. At the current pace of change, it will take almost 30 years before there are as many women serving as superintendents as men. Trudy T. Arriaga, Stacie L. Stanley, and Delores B. Lindsey introduce a new model for creating mentoring relationships that help emerging women leaders thrive. Current and aspiring leaders can use Mentoring for Momentum as a standalone resource or in conjunction with the authors' Leading While Female and My Leading While Female Journey. Leaders will learn to mentor aspiring female leaders, and mentees will discover how to build these vital connections.

Using the Tools of Cultural Proficiency, the authors guide readers in identifying and overcoming systemic barriers, helping aspiring leaders build the momentum needed to achieve their career goals and foster greater gender equity in their organizations.

This practical guide includes:

A framework for using the Tools of Cultural Proficiency to develop reciprocal and culturally responsive mentoring relationships Case stories from female leaders that offer models for navigating the challenges and opportunities of mentorship Guidance on how to locate a mentor, serve as a mentor, and establish effective mentoring programs within your organization Reflective prompts, end-of-chapter questions, and a free study guide to deepen understanding and encourage personal and professional growth

Female leaders will learn how to leverage the power of mentorship to break through barriers, build supportive networks, and create lasting change for themselves and for the next generation of women leaders.
