Doha: HEC Paris in Qatar, one of Qatar Foundation’s partner universities, hosted a panel discussion that explored the need for new, inclusive leadership models to drive organizational growth and innovation, accelerating the representation of women in leadership roles across the region.
The panel discussion, titled “Take the Lead: The Need For New Models of Leadership”, was held at Qatar National Library, and brought together a distinguished panel of regional change-makers to discuss nurturing female leadership and unlocking the immense potential of women in business.
“By nurturing a regional pipeline of talented and capable women leaders, we are positively impacting business growth, organizational development, and economic expansion, thereby contributing to national vision goals,” commented Dean of HEC Paris in Qatar, Dr. Pablo Martin de Holan.
Dr. Shaheena Janjuha-Jivraj, Associate Professor at HEC Paris in Qatar and an expert in innovation, leadership, and diversity, said: “By promoting diversity and ge
nder equality, organizations can shape sustainable and resilient cultures that foster belonging and groundbreaking ideas.” “The role of leaders is crucial in fostering inclusive cultures. To strengthen the pipeline of female talent, we need to move past the one-and-done mindset and normalize female leaders in all sectors of business, government and wider society. Qatar has a strong profile of women leaders, and the pipeline of highly educated women creates a solid foundation for equitable opportunities, benefiting organizations through female leadership,” Dr. Shaheena added.
Recently, HEC Paris in Qatar delivered transformative Women in Leadership programs to several local and foreign institutions, equipping participants with the skills and confidence to advance into leadership roles.
HEC Paris in Qatar’s transformative programs for empowering women leaders are based on research and scientific and practical studies. It issued many publications such as “Take The Lead: How Women Leaders are Driving Success th
rough Innovation”, “Futureproof Your Career”, and “Championing Women Leaders Beyond Sponsorship”. These books serve as a rich knowledge base, informing the curriculum and content for the business school’s initiatives aimed at empowering women and leveraging their leadership potential within organizations.
