Diversity and performance in organisations

The Feminine Revolution in Business: Exploring New Dynamics

Issue No. 2, May 2024

In a rapidly changing world, the latest issue of Glimpse examines the growing impact of women in corporate management and governance. This edition highlights how their presence is reshaping traditional models and introducing new organisational dynamics. Gender balance and diversity have become essential strategic assets for driving performance and innovation.

Drawing on insights from the SKEMA Observatory on the Feminisation of Businesses and inspiring stories from female leaders, Glimpse reveals how these women overcome barriers to advance their careers while redefining leadership. Although legislation has promoted more inclusive practices, it alone is not enough to transform sectors that remain heavily gendered. This issue delves into the initiatives needed to foster genuine diversity at all levels.

A new leadership model, often referred to as 'authentic', is emerging. This style, frequently embraced by women in decision-making roles, blends empathy, intuition, and a human-centred approach, resulting in more cohesive teams and more flexible governance. Glimpse also explores how global companies are adapting their cultures to incorporate these changes, developing unique strategies to enhance diversity and equality.

Beyond mere compliance with quotas, these transformations are creating environments where diversity becomes a source of innovation and resilience. To understand how women are reshaping the future of business, don’t miss this issue of Glimpse.
