Overview:

What defines a high-performing organisation? Is it the tools and resources available to employees, the leadership of high-performing teams, or the ability of every individual to thrive? Achieving and sustaining high performance often depends on understanding the challenges employees face, including biases that may hinder progress.  

Research shows a disconnect between how leadership views performance and how employees experience it. This gap is often more pronounced for women, who may face unique challenges like the gender pay gap or societal expectations that undervalue their achievements. While some may understate their contributions, others might feel unsupported in environments that fail to recognize or address these inequities.

If this wasn’t challenging enough, research from Harvard suggests women are avoiding adopting AI tools, with a 25% lower rate. This has the potential to further impact what high performance looks like and the difference between male and female leaders.

So what can we do about it? And how can organisations empower everyone to reach their full potential and embrace tools like AI to boost performance?

This session will examine the experience of high performance for female leaders, with a focus on the impact of AI and the changes for workplaces across all industries around the globe.
