Innovative professional development approaches are needed to address the ongoing lack of women leaders in science, technology, engineering, and math (STEM) careers. Developed from the research on women who persist in engineering and computing professions and essential elements of women's leadership development, the Leadership Lab for Women in STEM Program was launched in 2014. The Leadership Lab was created as a research-based leadership development program, offering 360-degree feedback, coaching, and practical strategies aimed at increasing the advancement and retention of women in the STEM professions. The goal is to provide women with knowledge, tools and a supportive learning environment to help them navigate, achieve, flourish, and catalyze organizational change in male-dominated and technology-driven organizations. This article describes the importance of creating unique development experiences for women in STEM fields, the genesis of the Leadership Lab, the design and content of the program, and the outcomes for the participants.
需要创新的职业发展方法来解决科学、技术、工程和数学（STEM）领域女性领导者持续短缺的问题。基于对坚持从事工程和计算机专业的女性的研究以及女性领导力发展的基本要素，2014年启动了STEM领域女性领导力实验室项目。领导力实验室是作为一个基于研究的领导力发展项目创建的，提供360度反馈、辅导和实用策略，旨在提高女性在STEM职业中的晋升和留任率。目标是为女性提供知识、工具和支持性的学习环境，以帮助她们在男性主导和技术驱动的组织中导航、取得成就、蓬勃发展并推动组织变革。本文描述了为STEM领域女性创造独特发展经历的重要性、领导力实验室的起源、该项目的设计和内容以及参与者的成果。
