348: Smart by Design: How Great Organizations Empower Women

Rich BaronMaikel Bailey
Rich Baron & Maikel Bailey

Episode Notes

In a world where diversity is often reduced to hiring quotas and optics, truly smart organizations understand that empowerment is a system, not a slogan. They build cultures where women are not just included—they’re equipped, elevated, and essential to strategic success.

Smart organizations, and leaders, don't just hire women, they build ecosystems where women thrive. Global statistics show that when women are part of the leadership, organizations don't just perform better, they become more human, more resilient, and more future-ready

Simply put, when women leaders thrive, organizations don’t just grow—they transform.

Join Rich and Maikel as we unpack what it means to design ecosystems that foster psychological safety, leadership pathways, and authentic influence for women at every level on this episode of JMG's Mainline Executive Coaching ACT podcast.
