Women and Leadership
Dr. Farida Virani was invited to conduct a session on ‘Women and Leadership’
at the ‘Lions Academy of Excellence’ programme for its members. The programme
aims at ‘Professionalizing Volunteerism’.
Even though there is a general agreement that ‘Women are Equally Qualified and Competent, Barriers Persist’. Women may not always
realize how poised for success they are in leadership roles, but their
potential and abilities are undeniable. With insightful examples she deliberated upon
the reasons why women make great leaders and the factors contributing to the
existing imbalance in power. She also discussed some powerful strategies of
successful women leaders. She concluded leaving the audience with a potent
thought; “Dream it. Dare it. Do it”.
