A different perspective on company leadership
Around the world gender equality is an issue that rightly dominates our times. At the same time, companies have never been under more pressure to demonstrate transparency and accountability in how they conduct themselves through the structures they operate by. Connecting these two issues is the positive impact female leaders can play in ensuring company boards truly reflect society’s values - be they customers, employees, shareholders or citizens.
It’s time to get started.
