Rupa’s story: the challenges of being a woman in a leadership role

PSFI Partners Joanna Corr and Mike Mister chat about Mike’s latest case study, Rupa’s Story, in today’s episode. The case study explores Rupa’s first year as partner in a major professional services firm and delves into the issues and themes related to her transition to a formal leadership role. All the while it looks at the issues from the perspective of being a new partner who just happens to be female. It’s set in a European context and presents a number of challenges and dilemmas with which Rupa has to navigate during her first year as a partner.

This episode is part of our Women & Leadership campaign and Mike and Joanna chat through the challenges of being a woman in a leadership role and discuss what needs to change in professional services firms to help more women move into and stay in leadership positions.
