Growing the leadership pool
Although, as raised by so many women in this feature, and even more in our following e-book, the issue of gender equality and equity should be embedded in our personal and business culture,
it is still amazing to stop once a year and celebrate what has been achieved, while addressing ways to improve.
A big thank you to all the women who provided comment. Make sure you look out for our Women’s Month E-Book, containing many more articles on the subject. In the words of Percy Sledge: “This is a man’s world, but it is nothing without a woman”.
Let’s make it a people’s world.
Enjoy the read, Tony.
