An ability that assists in approaching leadership differently
n uncertain economic times like the ones faced at the onset of Covid-19, start-ups have become more and more common place. The past two years have been a swim or sink situation, apart from the lives lost and adversely affected, our livelihoods have been largely impacted – many people have lost jobs and many have been forced into entrepreneurship (when I say ‘many’, myself included). Majority of leadership roles in companies, business or government are still filled by men. The lack of female representation in leadership positions can make it near impossible for hope for other women to reach those heights.
Women are just as capable of handling issues, running companies, and making executive decisions just as our male counterparts. Needless to say, we are past debating the integral role women play in growing economies
Women have always been shaping the world. We need women in leadership. If the majority in leadership (i.e. male leaders) viewed gender diversity as a business imperative, they would work to understand the challenges women face in the workplace and take bolder steps to support and advocate for change. Those in leadership positions, both men and women, need to use their authority to promote and advocate for women. It’s imperative that we lead deliberate and structured approaches towards combating gender inequality in the workforce.
