On Thursday, October 12, 7 pm, Munich Business School will host the MBS „Women in Leadership“ Podium. The event will take place at the MBS Lounge (ground floor) at Munich Business School’s premises in Elsenheimerstra\u00dfe 61, 80687 Munich (directions<\/a>).<\/p>\n

The \u201cWomen in Leadership\u201d Podium addresses the issue of diversity in management positions, assuming that corporate leadership is currently a male dominated activity, but that gender diversity is key to leverage full development potential in organizations as well as society, and thereby living up to UN Sustainable Development Goals.<\/p>\n

After an introductory presentation on the status of gender diversity in corporate Germany, dedicated panelists will share their views and discuss strategies for organizations to better tap into larger and more diverse pools of resources by creating the right environment of nurturing female talent.<\/p>\n

Beyond the connecting and learning from each other as a purpose of its own, the outcome of the podium will be maintained and used as input to develop the MBS educational programs further; for the degree programs in general and the executive development programs in particular.<\/p>\n
