Episode Notes

Having women in leadership roles is essential for organizations and society, from driving innovation with diverse perspectives to fostering equity and inclusion, as well as serving as role models for future generations. Women leaders bring unique strengths that lead to better decision-making, improved performance, and often bring collaborative, empathetic, and transformational leadership styles that complement traditional approaches, fostering healthier work cultures.

Simply put, having women in leadership roles isn’t just about equality—it’s about unlocking the full potential of organizations and society.
