Diversity, leadership, and power: What happens when more women are in decision-making positions? Why are there still too few women in many decision-making bodies – even though studies show that diverse teams make better decisions? In this podcast special from Less Of The Same, host Charlotte Bufler speaks with women from business, politics, and media about power, leadership, and structural change on the occasion of International Women's Day. It's not about gender-bashing or symbolic diversity. It's about perspectives, systems, and how real change happens. Topics in this episode:
- Why companies with more diversity are more profitable
- What unspoken rules do women encounter in professional life?
- The "glass cliff" effect in leadership positions
- Why financial independence is the key to equality
- How leadership changes when different perspectives come together
- Why some women leave the system – and others change it from within
