‘Success in Business’  Development Forum For Women

Today's leaders have to deal with an exciting but formidable list of challenges that is quite unprecedented.  Business leaders are not only asked to be stewards of the organisation, disciples of brands, motivators of people and architects and implementers of strategy – but to do this against a backdrop of recession, trying to satisfy increasingly demanding shareholders and customers and needing to adapt their style to lead a multi-generational and multi-faceted workforce.  
 
Women in business face these baseline challenges by virtue of being business leaders, but they also face a host of other challenges that are unknown to their male counterparts:

• ‘Traditional’ ways of doing business have been established over the years by male ‘baby boomers’ who are work obsessed, putting their careers above everything else, working long hours and adopting a typical ‘Alpha Male’ approach to being a senior leader
• Many organisations still have deeply embedded beliefs that men are more effective as leaders making it difficult for women break through the traditions and ideals of these ‘old boy networks’
• Women often lack effective role models of how to be successful as a woman at the top of an organisation and to ‘show the way’
• Women have very unique and powerful leadership styles and skills that have traditionally been undervalued in business
• As a minority group women have to over come the inherent institutionalised prejudices about where their commitments and priorities lie – work or home/family

 
Not just because of their legal E&D obligations, Organisations need to wake up and smell the coffee and develop their talented women so they can harness the invaluable and unique strengths they can bring to the (boardroom) table. And they need to do it quickly, because there are many successful, contemporary businesses who are have been discovering this is a great way of achieving an instant and lasting competitive advantage.
 
 

The Challenge

In response to these challenges women need to take control of their own destinies, they need to bravely define their own, unique leadership identity and style that works for them.  They need to find their way of delivering todays diverse leadership challenges in a way that remains true to themselves as individuals as well as delivering to the high standards that most companies have for their leaders.?
