The Evolution of Women in Leadership: An Analysis of Effective Leadership Skills

In an effort to better understand the leadership behaviors that women in the commercial real estate industry do or do not exhibit, CREW Network randomly surveyed 234 of its female members and 16 executive level women using the Leadership Potential Indicator (LPI) assessment tool developed by MySkillsProfile (MSP).

CREW Network analyzed the participants’ assessment results in terms of five subsets: members with one to 14 years of experience in commercial real estate, members with 15 to 25 years of experience, members with more than 25 years of experience, all members and the 16 executive level women. Regardless of the subset analyzed, some very specific trends emerged both in terms of the competencies where participants scored the highest and those where they scored the lowest.
