The Kanter Model

The Kanter Model is a framework that explains how organizations and groups can foster positive change by empowering individuals, especially women, through increased access to resources, authority, and support. It emphasizes the importance of structural factors—like organizational policies, culture, and opportunities—in enabling members to participate fully and advance. Essentially, it highlights that changes in the environment and structure are key to promoting growth, equality, and effective leadership within groups or organizations.
