Women in management: 4 TED Talks to inspire female leaders
This year’s International Women’s Day campaign is asking us all to #EmbraceEquity for a more gender inclusive world. Amongst the many issues that women face today in the world of work, the lack of equality in senior positions is still very much apparent. The campaign is urging all people regardless of their gender, to help create more opportunities for women at work, whether that’s by taking a female junior colleague to a major meeting or event, or giving women the opportunity to attend a leadership workshop.
