The effectiveness of female leaders in handling the COVID-19 crisis has received a lot of media attention with evidence showing that outcomes are systematically better in countries led by women. Some say that this success is based on honest open communication with their countries, and for clearly showing their people that they care. Are these the characteristics of a true leader? Are we now prepared to acknowledge that Compassion is strength, Kindness is strength, Empathy is strength?

This virtual half-day conference will broadcast live from The MAC Belfast from 09.30 - 12.30 and will shine a spotlight on global leaders and hear their perspectives on effective leadership.
