Management Skills Development for Women in Leadership Positions
 
PREMISE: Some women in Nigeria are in leadership positions. More of them are currently entering into the leadership cadres while more still will be expected to take up leadership roles in various spheres of life. Studies have, however, shown that some of the factors which inhibit women from performing creditable well as leaders arise from their inability to assert themselves and interact effectively with others. There is, therefore, the need to equip women with the required skills that will enable them to effectively cope with the challenges of leading and performing as leaders.
