PANEL DEBATE 1
A brave new world of leadership: female and in her fi fties? When: 13.35-14.30 In 2015 PwC published research about leadership, more specifi cally about the shortage of ‘strategist leadership’ talent readily available to organisations. Less than 10 per cent of leaders have the right skills to lead successful transformational change, according to the report. The report goes on to defi ne a ‘strategist leader’ as someone who is likely to have wider experience of settings, people, and also of failure. 6,000 European professionals were surveyed for this research and the largest proportions of strategist leaders were found to be female and over the age of 55, an area of talent often ‘overlooked’, according to PwC. Speakers: Rachel O’Reilly, Kuoni | Sarah Harraghy, Celebrity Cruises | Sylvia Weiler, Sojern | Giles Hawkes, Cosmos Tours & Cruises.

on most government’s agendas. Yet, research from the London Business School also shows that female entrepreneurs continue to fear. So what can we do about it, particularly in travel and tourism? Is the sector any different around the world? What are the success stories? And what does it take to launch a successful business?
