Dear GBA Members and Friends,
Leadership by women is vital to increase the pace of societal transformation at home and in the workplace. Women leaders are likely to provide an integrated view of work and family, resulting in an engaged and promising personal and professional future.
According to a 2012 Harvard Business Review study, women generally have more of the qualities required to be effective leaders; and multiple studies show that greater diversity in leadership positions results in better company performance.
However, across business, government and political spheres, the face of leadership is still overwhelmingly male. For so long, women have determined career success by their ability to adjust to the male-dominated culture and business processes in their field.
Women try to play by the existing rules in the workplace and have the additional hurdle of society's perceptions of how women should act and be seen.
Fortunately, the era of being the only woman in the room is behind us. Education and practice are reducing some of the invisible angst of being a woman in a leadership role, but there are still challenges to face and overcome.
Please join our GBA Business Meeting to hear two remarkable women talk about what it takes to be a woman in the leadership role in this time of rapid changes and opportunities.
This month’s business meeting will be in a new format as a Business Luncheon.
