Girl Power
Sometimes a Bull’s Eye away day with a ‘same sex’ Board of Directors can be hard work. It’s as if there is something missing in the chemistry, and worst of all from my perspective as a male, can be an all male Board.I recently had the pleasure to facilitate a Bull’s Eye day with a group of six, four male and two female. The two females are a relatively recent addition to the top team. Some years ago in the same organisation it was just the guys and some meetings could be dour, humourless affairs: as facilitator I was always aware of the need to somehow pump up the adrenalin.
Not so now. We had a great meeting with lots of energy, lots of ideas and plenty of laughter too. The females were robust, outspoken and challenging their male colleagues every step of the way on a packed agenda. At the end of the day we had twenty SMART action points linked to the Bull’s Eye.
Old and young, black and white, male and female, diversity always delivers.
