Medicine & Life Sciences

Working Group Action Plan

Cultural change is needed, both at the leadership and at the grass roots levels. A sustained change in attitude and expectations would lead to recognition of a person’s “whole output” and increased representation of women in decision-making positions. Bold and effective actions now will result in a sustainable 50/50 gender representation in executive leadership roles by 2030.

Redifining leadership in the sciences. Leadership is currently an uneven playing field, with a hierarchical leadership framework often biased against women.

THANKS

I would like to extend my warm thanks and appreciation to the Working Group Leads for their generous contributions to both the work in preparing for and during the Transforming Women’s Leadership Pathways initiative. They gave generously of their time and expertise, running ten very successful Working Groups, producing valuable action plans at the conclusion.
My thanks also to all participants, without whom this could not have been achieved. This eclectic group of experts, drawn from government, industry and higher education provided invaluable and passionate input, for which we are deeply appreciative.
A warm thank you also to UNSW Business Professor of Practice, Jennie Granger, for her wonderful introduction and welcome to the Transforming Women’s Leadership Pathways initiative, and her work as the event facilitator, all the more complex for being held electronically across several continents and timezones.
