Women in Leadership: What’s it like? Cafe Psychologique, 18 October

Hillary Clinton is bidding to be the first woman to enter the White House as president while Britain has only the second female prime minister in its history. Meanwhile, fewer than 10% of board members of the top 100 companies listed on the British stock exchange are women. Only 4% of the CEOs of the world’s top 500 companies are women. The story is a little different in public, social and third sector organisations, but even where women do manage to attain leadership positions, they report being subject to stereotyping and prejudice.

This café aims to discuss what it is like to be led by a woman and what it is like to be a woman in leadership. Does it make a difference and if so what might that be? We’ll also talk about why there seem to be fewer female leaders than male, despite girls and women consistently outperforming boys and men at school and university.

Dr Frances Corrigall and Dr Ruth Hunter are clinical psychologists and will introduce our conversation at Café Psychologique Leeds, on Tuesday 18 October September from 8.00 pm to 9.45 pm in Seven Arts, Chapel Allerton, Leeds. The Café costs £4 on the door.
