Referencing research data and 25 years of experience of developing leaders, I will outline the skills and qualities that women bring to leadership in abundance, highlighting areas where women excel.
In most large organisation, the leadership culture has been created by senior men, reflecting their unconscious assumptions about how 'good leadership' looks and sounds. I will speak about invisible differences in gender culture and how leaders can create sustainable inclusive cultures successfully.
