Yesterday my partner, Gillian Brooks, and I presented our research on female leader’s use of computer-mediated communication (CMC) at the Georgetown Women’s Leadership Initiative Competition. After winning our session (which was completely unexpected), we delivered an address to the roughly 200 female executives and leaders present (including Michelle Rhee!) in the National Press Club ballroom.
Among our other findings, we learned that women leaders are more likely to use CMC to communicate in the workplace, but they are largely perceived as less effective than men through this medium. Follow this link to view a PowerPoint highlighting our research findings.
We owe much of our success to the guidance and insight of our wonderful faculty advisor, Dr. Jeanine Turner. Next step… publish our findings!
