Why, Leadership IN Women?
Leadership is perceived as a gender specific male capability from the time of known world history. In the beginning it was due to the biological physical strength of a man, which was later ingrained as societal norm due to politics and belief system all around the world. It is not just men who believe and enforce the concept - women are equally sold out, even when they have been leading their entire life. The intellectual, philosophical, academic and business research at this time are catching up, as the woman are now part of the leadership forefront. This platform is focused on connecting women and Leadership In Women in all five continents together at one place.
Domination as a leadership style is becoming less and less popular - for obvious reasons. There is a new growing appreciation of traits that women posses use to keep families together and to organize volunteers to unite and make change in communities. These newly admired leadership qualities of shared leadership, nurturance and doing good for others are today not only sought after, but also indeed needed to make a difference in the world. A feminine way of leading includes helping the world to understand about values that really matter.

Dr. Chohan is the author of Leadership IN Women: Connect. Inspire. Thrive, which looks at the characteristics which women possess that make them natural born leaders. The reality is, leadership characteristics are inherently part of being a woman and they proactively practice them in every aspect of their lives, but historically, leadership is not attributed to women - only to men. This unfortunately has diminished the role of women in leadership, by constantly downplaying their critical traits like, empathy, grit, emotional intelligence and resilience. This universal reductionist approach towards women leadership has been accepted as a fact of life, which has then sidelined almost fifty percent of world population.
The purpose of “Leadership IN Women” is to serve as a global platform to connect, inspire and help leading women thrive.
