Executive Women

Wednesday, March 12, 2008

Meg spoke at an event organised by the Executive Women’s Consortium, a group of senior women from the Foreign and Commonwealth Office, HSBC, Reuters, O2 and Unilever. The aim of the Consortium is to discuss solutions to common cross sector business challenges.  

The Foreign Office hosted this year’s meeting, which had the topic “The Challenge of authentic leadership in a world of ever more rapid change." Meg spoke about the challenges of leadership, both as a Government Minister and a Member of Parliament. She answered questions on being a woman in a predominantly male environment and responding to media interviews in an authentic way taking into account the implications of speaking on behalf of the Government.
