Gender equality and women in leadership are hot topics globally at the moment and are usually put into the bracket of diversity and inclusion. There is however a powerful business case for creating gender balance in your organisations in terms of being able to proactively anticipate market trends, innovate accordingly and create a sustainable future. Women should be more than just a leadership quota, they are a powerful source of creativity and knowledge about consumer spending and organisations hoping to lead in the market place need to know how best to empower this fantastic resource and unlock this talent.
