The Untold Stories of Women in Leadership
Submitted by: Vuka Online Radio
Coming Soon on Vuka Online Radio www.vukaonlineradio.co.za is a show where we discuss the Untold Stories of Women in Leadership.
- How can we empower African women who are in positions of power and authority to find their voice, live their values, embody their legacies, be true to themselves, make unique contributions and indelible impact to society through fearless decision making?
- How can we better prepare the aspiring African women leaders, to navigate boardroom politics and dynamics?
- With the increase in the number of women in public and private sector leadership in African countries, are African countries benefiting and if not, why are they not benefiting from the substantive improvement in numbers and the unique attributes that women bring in the boardroom?
This is a call to the international community to ask for more women in African countries who have been part of the system to tell their authentic stories, influence their engagement to empower others and ensure they craft the story, name the “elephant “and be involved in corrective measures. As the African legend says ‘Inyathi ibuzwa kwabaphambili”. The direction to the path ahead is asked of those who have travelled it.
It is our position that the quantitative accounts of gender and inclusion as we often see displayed or tabled in strategic documents and research, miss the qualitative narrative and the deep -seated ugly nature of the pain endured daily by women leaders. Curing the pain requires diving deeper into the souls of those affected and address the challenge head-on. What we often see is that victims are either silenced to shield the perpetrators (organization/institutions) or decide to shield themselves from being labelled as “cry-babies over spilt milk, “or emotional, or attention seekers. Is this real? Is this a South African, African, or global phenomenon?
