THEME

Authentic Leadership

Lifting as she climbs: Dealing with Queen Bee Syndrome

WHY

According to Cecilia Harvey, a London-based consultant and founder of global showcase platform Tech Women Today, Queen Bees are adult versions of the mean girls from school—but now they have grown up and are more calculating. These socially aggressive behaviours include gossiping, social exclusion, social isolation, social alienation, talking about someone, and stealing friends or romantic partner. We will consider aspects dealing with queen bees in the workplace but also hear from the experts on how female leaders can play a significant role in the development and growth of female subordinates and other developing female leaders in an organization.

WHAT WILL YOU HEAR

Join our speakers as we chat about the queen bee syndrome, the causation and its effects. We will probe as to where does it all begin, and interrogate if there is a deactivation button? We will also focus on how female leaders can assist in the development of future female leaders in their organization

WHO SHOULD ATTEND

If you are a leading an organization or an upcoming leader, this session will guide you on what leaders should be doing to empower and develop female professionals and pitfalls to avoid.

PROGRAMME

09h00 – 10h00 Panel Discussion
