Leadership development for women in Zimbabwe

We live in a highly socio-economic and gender sensitive society when leadership and management issues are concerned. Women need to identify the power they possess to ensure they make a difference at the work place and to give a stronger voice and presence in the leadership and management arena.

Women as executives are faced with series of socio-cultural factors that hinders their access to leadership and decision making mainstream in the corporate environment. These cultural and/or social barriers can prevent women reaching the top in their respective careers. There is therefore a need of mindset change to inspire women into decision making and more prominent leadership roles. At this event, we will explore and find out what measures can be implemented to propel women to top leadership and decision making positions.
