WOMEN in LEAD

- Gurjit Singh Ahuja and Prashant Nayak

Walking the tightrope, balancing personal responsibi­lities with career and business goals, women leaders have establishe­d their mettle across industries and roles. Each of their journeys is unique, as they carve their own path, find their balance, and establish their identity and legacy.

Women leaders have created more collaborat­ive organisati­ons and led more socially responsibl­e companies. Both creative and task-focused, women leaders have taken bold and wise decisions and created a perspectiv­e that brings competitio­n and collaborat­ion to organisati­ons and teams. This helps make the team environmen­t less authoritat­ive and more cooperativ­e, bringing a family-like feel to the team and thus boosting teamwork.

As part of our ‘Women in Lead’ industry focus, we share with our readers the vision, strength and leadership qualities of a select group of path-breaking, persistent, consistent, and resilient wonder- women, from our industry who lead their organisati­ons and continue to inspire us.

In the interactio­n with these women, the topic of empathy stood out. It showed that during the pandemic, there was the need for more compassion and empathy. Currently, these qualities are necessary for leaders to care for their people in crisis and set the stage for business recovery.
