Webinar – The Value of Building a Gender Lens within Your Family Business Perspective
November 2, 2021 @ 1:00 pm - 2:00 pm EDT
This webinar will start a conversation with family business practitioners about the key role and influence that gender plays in the family business setting. We believe this work can help you smooth succession, access talent, understand conflict, and maintain healthy business family relationships.
We will define gender and explore how it affects not only women but men, and also teams, families, businesses, and cultures. We will discuss two case studies from the field that will highlight key challenges related to gender biases -- and tactics on how to dismantle these for a more egalitarian approach. A substantial body of research shows that those under 35 today have shifted their view of gender in terms of roles and norms in comparison to former generations. Successful family business management requires that we understand and integrate this shift.
Based on their 15-years of ground-breaking research, Professors Christina Constantinidis (University of Quebec in Montreal) and Teresa Nelson (Simmons University, Boston) will present their Gender-Inclusive Family Business Model™, including an introduction to their Daughters of Family Business Paradigm™ as a Family Enterprise Canada exclusive. They will share details about our upcoming Training Workshop on this topic.
