The sector needs to better support its women, says Rowena Lewis

As the sector dedicated to social justice, why are charities not making better progress at smashing the glass ceiling? Rowena Lewis says leadership is needed.

Do our leaders really have what it takes to navigate the sector out of this perfect storm?

Have you got  'the CEO look'?

A recruitment consultant told delegates at Acevo's Future Leaders Summit they had to 'look' like a chief executive to get the top job. Rowena Lewis questions why

If you don't get the top job at your charity or company then challenge your board/employer or move somewhere else. Don't hang around complaining as that definitely won't get you anywhere. Or, if all else fails, set up your own organisation and make yourself CEO - like men do, every day.
