Diversify Your Leadership pipeline
Most organizations fail to achieve true gender equity in leadership roles. You know it. We know it.
The Myth of “Equal Opportunity”
We’ve all heard it before. “We offer equal opportunities.” But the reality often falls short. Deep-rooted societal and cultural norms create invisible barriers for women.
- The “Perfection Trap”: Women are often held to higher standards, feeling the pressure to be “perfect” in every aspect of their roles
- The Disease to Please: A constant need to seek approval, hindering assertiveness.
- Ruminating: Dwelling on negative feedback, constantly scanning for potential criticism they might receive, impacting self-confidence.
- Influencing Without Authority: Women often face unique challenges in navigating power dynamics and influencing decisions effectively.
- Conflict Management: Women may face different expectations and challenges in managing conflict compared to their male counterparts.
Does this mean they aren’t good candidates for promotions? Absolutely not.
We see women often excel in areas like empathy, collaboration, and strong interpersonal skills – qualities crucial for effective leadership. However, these strengths can sometimes be overshadowed by the challenges outlined above.
Organizations with diverse leadership pipelines are more innovative, agile, and better equipped to navigate the complexities of the modern world.

FocusU has always made learning interesting. Topics are converted into activities and the learning from the activities are then discussed - which makes us relate to it in real time. The best part is there is no PPT and the team is always takes inputs for discussion. A facilitator is definitely more knowledgeable than the people who attend the training. The key is how you hold your intelligence within yourself and get down to the level of attendees.

An amazing overall experience, which was like peeling layers of leadership psychology to discover self and understand others in the team. All done with support from FocusU group members who led us to a journey of unearthing the mindsets through challenging tasks and a right amount of debriefing. The session has facilitated in increasing collaboration among the team members and driving the organizational mission with renewed passion.

I have never received such overwhelmingly positive feedback from each and every participant before for any other program! Even the typical critics came proactively to thank me for organizing such training. But the real credit goes to FocusU of course. Unlike typical training filled with slides, theories and handouts, FocusU brings in a different way of learning while enjoying participation. Their use of simple activities to relate with key learning points makes learning more effective. No wonder participants found it instantly convenient to identify key learning points and action plan at the end of the session. Moreover, the level of energy, positivity and enthusiasm the trainers exerted within the participants was brilliant. I believe FocusU India Ltd has more such learning interventions to offer which Unilever Bangladesh Ltd will be keen to explore. We look forward to building a lasting relationship with one of the most dynamic training solution providers. All the best to FocusU for their future endeavor.
