In pursuit of what matters: passion for the bottom line
Female leadership in the face of big decisions
Susana Malcorra´s experience in public/private work and her key role in leading the World Food Programme and as Chief of Staff to the Secretary-General of the United Nations, made it possible for her to accumulate a series of experiences that can be passed on to others through lessons learned. These experiences teach essential aspects of leadership that are vital to those interested in conflict resolution and transformation, diplomacy, prevention and negotiation. The book points out three very relevant aspects, among many others: a passion for the task at hand, empathy to undertake consensus-building and perseverance and tenacity for effective achievement. All of this within a context in which the low representation of women in decision-making positions is evident. The role of women is fundamental to transforming leadership. This will ensure greater cooperation and sustainable peace at the global level.
