In an increasingly complex and fast-changing world, the full inclusion of talent – particularly women’s leadership – is a strategic and ethical imperative. Research consistently shows that gender-diverse leadership enhances decision-making, mitigates risk, and strengthens organisational performance. The Rosenzweig Report which marks its 20th year, has charted the remarkable progress of women in corporate Canada. Yet, the pace of advancement in female leadership globally remains frustratingly slow. At a time when women’s rights are facing a troubling rollback, sustained and collective action is more critical than ever. Accelerating progress is not just about fairness – it is essential to building a more equitable and sustainable future for all.
