How are 3,000 C-level and senior business executives around the world responding to disruption, and how might this differ between female and male leaders? This year, for the first time, we have examined the global findings of AlixPartners' annual Disruption Index through the lens of gender – enabling us to answer that question.   Launched at the FT Live Women in Business Summit by Partner and Managing Director Kathryn Britten FCA, with a foreword by Vivienne Artz OBE FCSI (Hon) CMgr CCMI AIGP, CEO of the FTSE Women Leaders Review and AlixPartners Senior Advisor, we share our findings in our latest report > https://lnkd.in/eVD99Q2A   #WomenLeaders #leadership #diversity #FTWomen

Earlier today, my colleague, Kathryn Britten FCA launched our insights into how business disruption is being seen differently through male and female eyes. Every leader is different, so averages need to be treated carefully. But the stats show that female leaders see more opportunity from disruption than male leaders, they are more likely to seek support from others to achieve this, and overall feel (slightly) more confident in navigating disruption. Yet women are still woefully under represented at senior levels. I work most closely with businesses on the disruption / opportunity presented by AI, and can certainly see that the level of uncertainty only goes to strengthen the importance of leadership teams that are diverse in experience and perspective.

"Recognize there’s always something to learn. Listen, learn, and figure out what works. How do you gain from those experiences that allow you to grow?" — A valuable insight shared by Renee Laforet, Senior Vice President, Transformation at Infrastructure Ontario at The Huddle: Can You C-Us? Black Women Executive Leadership. This simple, yet powerful, reminder encapsulates the importance of growth and development through the lens of collaboration in roles of leadership.

How do we start to engage our young leaders to become interested in corporate leadership? Over the last few years, the struggles of corporations to create more diverse boards has come to light. In order to have more Black and Brown women on the boards of corporate companies, it starts with their interest level. How do we inspire young girls of color early in life so that they aspire to sit on those seats? This article from @blackenterprise highlights the importance of starting to target middle-school aged Black and Brown girls when they are just starting to develop their confidence and are starting to see themselves as leaders.

ARTICLE WORTH READING! On Korn Ferry, “Leadership lessons from senior black leaders” The number of Black CEOs in Fortune 500 companies is surprisingly low. We had seven Black CEOs over a decade ago, but now we're down to just four. Can you believe that? Even with all the talk about diversity and inclusion, less than 10% of the top leaders responsible for profit and loss are Black. The Korn Ferry Institute teamed up with the Executive Leadership Council (ELC) to gain insights and help organizations address this issue. ELC is made up of over 800 current and former Black CEOs, senior executives, entrepreneurs, and thought leaders from Fortune 1000 and Global 500 companies. This article gives a summary of their joint efforts! https://lnkd.in/eagD65eR #lgbtqa #diversity #inclusion #thegayleadershipdude #leadership

How can we elevate more women into leadership roles? Why do we continue to keep status quo even when all of the research says we get better outcomes with more diversity, inclusion & belonging (not to mention with human-centric leadership). These were the big questions in mind at last night's Elevate International event. A bunch of amazing leaders to meet and thank you to Solange Tuyishime Keita for the invitation! #leadership #leadershipdevelopment #mindset #highperformance
