I have made the point that focusing on developing women is not only the right thing to do, it is the smart thing to do; women are going to the largest and best-educated group of entrants to the workforce of the United States in the next few years. In this column, I will ...

Get off the out-of-control roller coaster

Readers who remember my January 11 and April 4 columns will recall that I emphasized the important role mentoring plays in career development programming for women. Many, many women have never had the opportunity to be mentored.

Question: "I'm part of a team that's been challenged by management to pick up the pace. No one disputes the need for us to do a better job. We aren't very cohesive. There are strained relationships and grudges that aren't left behind. Our meetings don't settle anything. A few people do all the talking. Being told to, 'fix it,' hasn't really helped matters. We seem to ...
