🌟 FII in a Flash with Playbook 🌟 The panel "Bridging Borders: What Are Leaders’ Lessons to the Next Generation?" featured insightful speakers: Sara Al Sayed, Noella Coursaris Musunka, Vishaal Gupta, and Nisa Leung. A Deloitte report highlights that organizations with at least 30% women in leadership roles are 21% more profitable than their peers. As the business landscape evolves, current leaders must create pathways for the next generation to foster a culture of inclusivity and capital growth. 🎉 Here are the key insights from the session: 📈 Diversity Drives Success: Organizations with higher female representation see increased profitability, yet many still lack women in executive roles. Addressing this gap is crucial for sustainable growth. 🚀 Advancement Through Vision 2030: Saudi Arabia’s Vision 2030 acts as a catalyst for change, significantly increasing women’s workforce participation and leadership roles, showcasing a model for other nations. 📚 Education as a Foundation: Access to quality education accelerates young women to become leaders. Initiatives like building schools in underserved areas are vital for creating equitable opportunities. 🤝 Mentorship Matters: Establishing mentorship programs for women in various industries fosters a supportive environment, helping them navigate career challenges and advance to leadership positions. ⚖ Balancing Roles: Women often juggle multiple responsibilities. Societal structures, like childcare support, are essential for enabling women to thrive in their careers while maintaining family life. 💪 Authenticity in Leadership: Women should embrace their unique leadership styles rather than conforming to traditional male-dominated norms, promoting a culture of authenticity and diversity in leadership roles. 👥 Inclusion of Male Allies: Engaging men as allies in the movement for gender equality in leadership is essential. Collaborative efforts can drive meaningful change, benefiting organizations and societies as a whole. Want to dive deeper?

Today, Cranfield University and EY released the 2024 report into the number of women in Executive Board positions (ie sitting at the top table) in the FTSE 25O companies and it is down again, now at 12%. For business leaders reading this, if you have an un-diverse C-Suite, you are, statistically, missing out on innovation, productivity and EBITDA. Gender balance isn't something "nice" to have. It is crucial for business success. https://lnkd.in/eYC3V-Hi

Gender Diversity in Executive Leadership... we still face significant gaps. why? Last week, our colleagues at Embera Partners read through two recent studies by the AllBright Stiftung and McKinsey & Company, both focusing on gender diversity in leadership functions as well as some of the recent developments. The results show clearly, there is a lot left to do: 👉 Allbright report: As of September 2024, the representation of women on the executive boards of Germany's DAX, MDAX, and SDAX-listed companies has seen only modest gains. Women now hold 19.7% of these roles, with DAX companies leading at 24.7%. Internationally, Germany trails countries like the UK (32.1%), USA (30.1%), and France (28.8%). Details here: https://lnkd.in/dq26EpEB 👉 The McKinsey 2024 Women in the Workplace report, which was put together with LeanIn, (https://lnkd.in/eRyC5nT) highlights similar barriers in the U.S., such as slow progress in promoting women to senior roles and the persistence of the "broken rung," limiting early promotions. Both reports suggest stronger institutional efforts are needed to improve female representation in leadership. There is so much to do with many areas and perspectives to tackle. A few ideas and food for thought. Because, why does this problem still exist to such a large extent? 🔷 Targeted Initiatives: Companies need to prioritize diversity as a strategic focus, enhancing gender representation at all levels. 🔷 Address Structural Barriers: Programs to support early promotions for women and leadership pipelines are critical. 🔷 Transparency and Accountability: Clear reporting on diversity targets can help maintain momentum and commitment. These insights show that while progress is being made globally, challenges persist, especially at the executive level, requiring more comprehensive solutions. #capitalmarkets #leadership #esg #DEI #governance #executives #genderpaygap Andreas Posavac
