Abstract

Considerable research on the underrepresentation of women has done little to impact the composition of organizational executive leadership, which continues to be dominated by men. However, when organizations engage men in the conversation, they realize more success in affecting cultural change and advancing women to upper leadership. In this paper, the contributions of male allies are explored with the goal of gaining a deeper understanding of specific behaviors and actions men use that they perceive as beneficial in advancing women.
