Circles can benefit employees in several ways. Circle moderators gain valuable facilitation and management experience and are often seen as leaders in their organization. Circle members benefit from the insights and expertise of their peers, which can have a greater impact than the traditional mentor-mentee relationship.
Overall, Circles allow employees to support gender equality while expanding their professional network, they give employees access to Lean In's best-in-class library of educational materials, and they encourage members to discuss new ideas and practice new skills together.
