History has been the witness to exemplary women leaders who have led their people
and indeed nations to glory. More and more Women are breaking the socio-cultural
barriers, overcoming the lack of resources and fighting discrimination to emerge as
successful leaders but gender equality is still a widely debated topic. Part of this debate
has been due to our lack of understanding of the unique skills and value that women
bring to an organisation.
How Women Leaders enrich the work culture and strengthen the decision making
processes of an organisation?
What challenges do women face in their career path to achieve leadership positions?
What changes have we seen in societys attitude towards women leadership and what
more needs to be done?
In our earnest endeavour to find answers to such questions, we look towards the
collective knowledge and wisdom of some of the Pioneer women from the industry
who will share experience and insights from their illustrious professional journey,
enriching and motivating the next wave of women leaders.
