Women in Leadership – What I wish I knew before I became a CEO
07 Nov 2024
Even when CEOs make gender diversity a priority—by setting aspirational goals for the proportion of women in leadership roles, they are often frustrated by a lack of results. Gender bias still present in organizations and in society, disrupts the learning cycle at the heart of becoming a leader. The Winmark CEO & CHRO networks invite you to join us for an exceptional evening of good food and candid conversation, shining a spotlight on 'Women in Leadership', and learnings en route to leadership positions and in role.

19 Nov 2024
A recent McKinsey survey found that CEOs and Boards see human capital as a strategic priority, and yet they still rank HR as only the eighth or ninth most important function in a company. If it is clearly understood that people are key to every organization’s success, why is it that the CHRO and the function they oversee continues to be so undervalued, particularly when recent events have been an opportunity to make a real impact?
