Gender diversity in business and, in particular, within the management teams has become a topic increasingly discussed in researches and also a social phenomenon especially in Western Countries.

HART Consulting together with its partners, Adina Bigas, ASEBUSS, and EXEC-Edu, initiated and carried a research on three pillars, looking the same time at the individual, organization and society

The results of the research will be presented at the event “Gender Diversity in the Romanian Leadership” which will take place on Wednesday, the 27th of November, at Elisabeta Restaurant.

What topics will be discussed?

• What types of roles or jobs are best suited for men and women?

• Do people have a less favorable attitude toward women than toward men in leader roles?

• Research-based perspective: female leadership and male leadership or yin and yang in business

• How can diversity be managed in organizations?

• Is still leadership a male prerogative in the modern society?

• Import practices and valuable lessons of the West: organizational practices regarding gender diversity

The event, moderated by Dana Deac, will have as speakers:

• Crina Ilie, Europe Learning and Development Leader, Genpact

• Monica Ene, Country Manager, Intel Romania Software Development Center (IRSDC)

• Raluca Kisescu, Marketing Director, Avon

"There are many myths about this topic, but few are confirmed. A priori the men in leadership positions are not better than the women. There are examples of incompetent leaders in both categories of gender. Between the quality of leadership and organizational outcomes is undoubtedly a strong intrinsic connection. It is shown in researches, but also intuitively where there are effective leaders, companies also grow, and where are ineffective leaders organizations fail.

We invite you to discover together more details about this topic at the event on the 27th of November", said Iuliana Manza, PR Coordinator HART Consulting.
