Samba management

Meg, Mega-Mindy and Me
August this year I saw an article in Wall Street Journal (WSJ) of HP, called H-P’s one year plan. After reading the article I was pretty sure H-P’s time was over, but only a month after I already had to change my mind. The reason for this change was H-P’s newly appointed CEO Meg Whitman.

Matt Symonds finds that women all over the world are aspiring to, and reaching, the heights of management
Although progress in the UK is still decidedly slow, it seems that the imbalance between the sexes in the boardroom or around the partnership table is finally being addressed in many corners of the world.

In Europe, Germany is aiming for 30 per cent of corporate directorships in the hands of women by 2015, while France has introduced a new law with a target of 40 per cent by 2017. But how are the world’s top businesses preparing ambitious women to take on the roles that this trend is creating? Continue reading »

OneMBA women experience Kilimanjaro
Kilimanjaro Leadership Project at RSM Erasmus University
Using the mountain as a classroom and as a metaphor for business, 15 women — including 4 OneMBA students — will experience leadership in ever-changing environments while climbing Kilimanjaro in this new MBA elective course at Rotterdam School of Management, Erasmus University.
These women will need to work together and lead each other through difficult terrain to push past physical and mental barriers in their trek to the 5,895 metre summit. They will be led by Rebecca Stephens, the first British woman to climb Everest, and the highest mountain on every continent.
Follow the OneMBA women on the Experience Kilimanjaro blog.
