S1 E6: Look For It (with Dominique Powrie)
Manage episode 345055036 series 3401246
In this episode, we chat with Dominque Powrie, Managing Director of DDI, about gender equality and leadership.
We chat about what makes for great leaders, and how we should be identifying talent, whilst exploring why the best leaders may not necessarily be the ones who end up in leadership roles.
We discuss why we still have a way to go to ensure equality in representation of all genders at senior leadership, and how the inherent biases still permeate our processes.
Finally, we share practical ways that executives can be allies, mentors, and sponsors, and the significant impact that we can all have to ensure fairer outcomes.
