Women in Leadership - How MBAs can contribute to more gender balance in boardrooms

According to HBR, firms with greater gender diversity among senior leadership perform better. The addition of female executives in decision-making positions shifts companies’ strategic approach to innovation. But, despite proven benefits of female leadership, still only one in four C-suite leaders is a woman.

This online panel discussion explores why it is important to have more women in leadership positions and how MBA programmes can contribute to more gender balance - from the classroom to the boardroom.

Furthermore, this online panel discussion is a unique opportunity to

• Find out how MBAs are preparing the next generation of women leaders
• Learn first-hand from alumni how the EDHEC Global MBA has impacted their leadership posture
