Research studies show a clear and direct correlation between gender
balance in corporate leadership and financial performance. Additionally,
gender balance is proven to be one of the most powerful variables in
creating a culture of innovation. With this in mind, SAP Ariba will make
gender balance the focus of this year’s Diversity & Leadership Forum at
SAP Ariba Live in Barcelona, taking place 4-6 June.
Ms. Mees is a leading expert on balancing masculine and feminine
qualities in today’s leaders. She supports CEOs and leadership teams of
men and women in all kinds of organizations to create a balanced culture
by offering them a new perspective on gender roles and on masculinity
and femininity. Ms. Mees is the author of “The Balanced Leader.
Exploring the dynamics of masculine and feminine energy,” a TEDx speaker
and coach, and co-founder of the Centre
for Balanced Leadership. She focuses on balanced leadership and how
it results in more engaged employees, stronger customer relations,
higher performance and more innovative teams, and a more sustainable,
respectful way of doing business.
The forum is typically standing-room-only and part of an exciting agenda
at SAP Ariba Live taking place at the Barcelona International Convention
Centre in Barcelona, Spain, 4-6 June. For more information on this
