The Next Smart Step

The Next Smart Step
How to Overcome Gender Stereotypes and Build a Stronger Organization

By: Kelly Watson and Jodi Ecker Detjen

Empower your organization through equity. 

Gender equity at work. Whose problem is it? And how can one person or one organization make a dent in such an entrenched social issue?

Let’s take a look at the facts: empowering women empowers everyone. Workplaces that treat women equitably and pay them fairly do better across the board. And most critically: gender equity is not a zero-sum game. Everyone stands to gain.

The Next Smart Step provides a clear and practical guide to understanding gender inequity, implementing solutions, and building an enduring, positive organizational culture. Based on principles of self-awareness, flexibility, communication, openness, and mutual respect, this approach puts real power to effect real change in your hands—whether you’re an intern or an executive.
