*This virtual dialogue was hosted by DDI India.

With diversity and inclusion being a critical business initiative for many companies in India, one element of that is creating a culture and atmosphere for women to advance to and excel in leadership positions.

Want to hear great examples of diverse leadership teams cascaded throughout an organization? In this dialogue, we'll discuss:

  • Why D&I efforts fail to energize the workforce toward advancing gender equality initiatives. 
  • How organizations are managing the sense of urgency for bringing gender diversity across the leadership pipeline
  • Expert opinions on the value women in leadership can bring to organizations as an untapped source
  • How gender biases can result in behaviors that unintentionally discriminate against women
