EQUALead

Women remain underrepresented in management positions within the German media and cultural sector. To foster diversity-conscious organizational development and strengthen the leadership skills of FLINTA people (women, lesbians, intersex people, non-binary people, trans people, and agender people), EQUALead employs a tandem program focused on female leadership and diversity development.
EQUALead takes a holistic approach, combining gender-equality-driven changes in corporate culture with individual leadership development. The tandem program follows this principle: two participants from the same company join one of two tracks, the “Leadership Track” and the “Transformation Track.” In the Leadership Track, participants receive targeted leadership skill development through three workshops. In the Transformation Track, individuals with personnel responsibilities receive additional training in diversity and change management; this track is also open to men and male-identified individuals. Finally, both participants benefit from individual coaching by professional coaches to support practical application in everyday work.
Mit einem gezielten, individuellen Ansatz werden Mitarbeiter:innen auf persönlicher Ebene gestärkt, während Entscheidungsträger:innen auf struktureller Ebene die nötigen Kenntnisse und Methoden für einen diversitätsbewussten Wandel der Unternehmenskultur erhalten. EQUALead fördert damit sowohl mehr Vielfalt und Female Empowerment als auch eine zukunftsorientierte Betriebskultur.
