Female talent has one goal: to influence decision-making to build a more competitive country, but also more supportive of its people and without stigma. To do this, he is willing to perfect his training, work as a team and multiply. That, and more, derived from the first Women's Forum that Forbes organized in Mexico. Here are some maxims that arose in the heat of the discussion. In the First Powerful Women Forum held by Forbes Mexico, topics that currently have a great impact in all areas of the country were discussed. The women who participated in each of the Forum tables have sufficient authority to talk about the issues that most concern society, and especially women. Talent, teamwork, entrepreneurship and politics are topics in which the participation of women manages to give them a different and fresher perspective to approach them from other angles. Lesson 1 Talent has no gender Participants: Denise Dresser, Lorena Cruz Sánchez, Mónica Flores, Griselda Hernández Fábregas and Enrique Taracena Figueroa.

At a time when new technologies have opened the doors to a renewal in leadership, Mexican women assure that female talent should have the same opportunity Special Database to stand out as men. “We continue talking about gender and we have to talk about talents,” said the general director of Manpower, Mónica Flores, who considered it a mistake to think that women alone will transform this scenario, when it is an effort in which the men. Gender inequality in leadership is evident from several angles.

There is more: only 7% of women negotiated their salary in their first job; After 10 years of working life, women earn 30% less than men and 48% have rejected a promotion because of the impact their work life has on their personal life. Faced with this, Denise Dresser, a professor at Itam, assured that to understand leadership in women, feminism must be rethought.

There is a promise of equality that has not been translated into reality. What it is about is recognizing the legitimacy of ambition.

Despite advances in gender in recent decades, speakers at the Forbes Forum agreed that there is a poor perception of female executives. While they are the “bitter” and “bad people,” men are the ones who carry the image of power and “providers.” For this reason, Enrique Taracena Figueroa, academic director of Special Programs at the iPad, said that companies must make the message clear that job growth opportunities will be for those who have the ability to contribute to the objectives, whether men or women. Of course, the promotion of capable people must come accompanied by equitable remuneration according to the work they perform; Otherwise, poor treatment can lead to employee discontent, which would directly affect productivity.
