Out with the Old, In with the Bold: Why Diverse Leadership is the Future! As I speak with senior leaders every day, one thing is becoming clear: in the face of shifting industries and mounting challenges, diverse leadership is no longer optional—it’s a business imperative! The data speaks for itself. Companies with women in senior leadership roles are 21% more likely to outperform their peers financially and have a 27% higher likelihood of creating long-term, sustainable value. Studies consistently show that diverse teams bring fresh perspectives to problem-solving, collaboration, and innovation—critical elements in driving resilience and staying competitive in today’s fast-evolving world. But beyond the numbers, there’s a deeper story here. I recently spoke with a CEO who, after years of operating, made a bold decision to diversify. The impact was immediate: employee engagement soared, new market opportunities were identified, and the company’s adaptability to external shifts improved dramatically. This is not just about fairness or representation—it’s about unlocking new potential and fueling growth. So I ask you: What does your senior leadership look like? Does it reflect the range of perspectives you need to navigate an increasingly complex world? Just as a diversified financial portfolio strengthens your bottom line, a diversified leadership team strengthens your organization’s future. If your leadership doesn’t yet reflect the world we live in, what actions are you taking to ensure your company thrives, not just today but for years to come? Now is the time for bold, strategic action—because the future favors those who lead with vision and inclusion. #diversify Orlando Bowen and I always champion for diverse perspectives!

Day 1 at the Perspectives Woman in Tech Summit 2024 was enlightening; listening to influential women, they discussed crucial topics about leadership, technology, and the future. Most memorable was Dawn Jones's speech "To add value, you must know your value". She presented three key points: 1️⃣ Understanding personal value 2️⃣ Leadership isn't about a title 3️⃣ The importance of practicing self-care 🌞 Understanding Personal Value Recognizing your value is essential. It's important to know what you bring to the table and how to communicate it to your superiors and peers. Make sure your expectations align with theirs. Consider asking your manager questions like: ▶ Am I meeting your expectations? ▶What should I do to get a promotion? ▶How can I help you succeed? Helping your manager succeed is a strategic move for career advancement. This isn't about personal gain but aligning your goals with your boss's. Strive to help them achieve their objectives, which also aids your personal growth. ❇ Leadership from Any Seat Use your voice. Being present in leadership meetings isn't enough; active participation is vital. Come to meetings prepared with thought-provoking questions to contribute to the conversation meaningfully. This approach is key for impactful leadership. 🔔 The Importance of Self-Care Jones offered valuable advice: if you're in a meeting with multiple teammates and you're not speaking, have a teammate take notes for you. Review the notes later. This approach saved her two hours a day and is a strategy I'm eager to try.
