Li Haitao, Dean and Dean's Distinguished Chair Professor of Finance at CKGSB, underscored the critical role women play in family enterprises. "The role of women is crucial for family businesses to navigate cycles and achieve lasting success," said Dean Haitao. "The long-term development of a business relies on a commitment to long-termism and altruism, and women often possess superior soft skills needed for leadership, such as communication, decision-making, and long-term strategy."
Zhang Xiaomeng, CKGSB's Associate Professor of Organizational Behavior, drew upon the findings from of her extended study between 2020-2024, which reveals that, since the COVID-19 pandemic, the resilience of both genders in the workplace has increased dramatically, but has increased more substantially among women [in leadership roles]. She also shared findings from a recent report on the impact of AI across genders, concluding that "Generative AI is likely to be a technological force that can help increase gender equality in the workplace."
Other speakers included Cargill China's President Lily Guan, FedEx's China President Poh-Yian Ko, and the Consul of Science and Tech at the British-Consulate General in Shanghai Charlotte Smart.
Since its inception in 2013, the Women in Leadership Forum has been a cornerstone of CKGSB's mission to foster next-generation female leadership, impacting over 2 million participants globally.
