Abstract
Despite the proliferation of research on the lack of women holding leadership

positions in organisations, antidotes prescribed for improving gender parity have

failed time and time again. We conduct a case study to observe and explore the

participants evaluations from a specific intervention: The Leadership

Development Program in an international energy company based in Norway.

We seek insights from participants in into how such programs can be useful for

career advancement, and to add understanding of what dynamics affect such

career advancement for men and women. Our findings are grouped into two

categories: dynamics inside the leadership development program and outside the

program. Findings include insights on how the leadership development program

develops confidence, confirmation and self-development beneficial for career

advancement, with some gender differences. The findings on dynamics outside

the program indicate the significant importance of organisational initiatives such

as career opportunities, career rotation, follow up and managerial support,

dynamics that are lacking at the case company. Recommendations for

improvements to the case organisation’s program are given.
