IN BRIEF - Glimpse

The feminisation of companies’ management committees has accelerated, driven by legislation and powerful social phenomena.
Companies are adapting rapidly to this acceleration by setting targets and deploying resources to support women in their new responsibilities.
This greater gender diversity is giving rise to new, more “human” and distributive leadership philosophies and practices, which sometimes seem to imply a “female style of leadership.”
But the idea of gendered leadership does not hold up when we look at practice and research, which are seeing the emergence of “authentic” leadership: a real conversation between the leader’s values and those of the company.
This “authentic” leadership lays the foundations for developing an inclusive, trusted workspace between employees, who can then give the best of themselves and contribute fully to the company’s performance.
