The document discusses the limitations of focusing leadership development solely on individuals and argues that a systemic approach is needed. It notes that concentrating development on individuals does not significantly improve the organization, and that what happens between individuals is more important. The key points made are:
1) Organizations are systems and succeed when the entire system succeeds as an integrated whole, not just based on the success of individual managers.
2) Focusing too much on developing individuals neglects improving the organizational system surrounding them.
3) Many leadership and organizational failures are due to systemic issues rather than flaws in individual leaders.
4) To truly improve leadership and address challenges, one must think systemically and examine the entire organizational system and

Against a backdrop of massive layoffs and an accelerated version of Schumpeter’s notion of Creative Destruction, the world economy is restructuring around new rules before our very eyes. Employee engagement, already at an all-time low worldwide before the COVID pandemic, is being exposed for the empty charade that it was treated as within most organizations. The only thing that can get us out of this, and see healthy organizations emerge at the other end, is letting go of command and control once and for all and giving the people in our organizations true, unfettered agency.
This document discusses the challenges faced by women in IT project management roles. It begins by providing cultural context for the protective nature of men in South Asia and how this can extend unintentionally to the workplace. It then examines examples of successful women leaders and the journeys and compromises they faced. The document outlines a methodology for understanding one's value and how differing perceptions of value between men and women can lead to challenges. Key internal and external challenges for women in IT project management are identified, such as work-life balance and lack of recognition, and questions are provided to help overcome each challenge.
Discover the barriers holding companies back from having the diversified teams needed to boost their results, ignite innovation and excellence. Learn what can be done to bridge the gap.
The document discusses differences in personality predispositions between men and women based on an analysis of data from 3,719 individuals who completed the GPITM personality assessment. 17 out of 22 dimensions showed statistically significant differences between men and women. On average, women scored higher on anxiety and lower on self-esteem, while men scored higher on assertiveness. The study found other differences in traits like extraversion, conscientiousness, and ambition. While predispositions don't determine behavior, they can influence it depending on the situation. The results complement past research finding some gender differences in personality traits and leadership styles.
This document discusses the state of women in tech startups. It notes that while women earn more degrees than men, they remain underrepresented in tech, comprising only 25% of the industry and 5% of startup founders. Female-founded startups also receive significantly less venture capital funding than male-founded ones. The document examines industries women tend to focus on, such as technology, business and media, rather than stereotypical "pink ghetto" industries like fashion. It concludes that long-standing societal factors have discouraged women from STEM careers and the male-dominated culture of tech can make women uncomfortable, which are key reasons for the lack of women in tech.
The document summarizes the WiL Women Talent Pool Program, which aims to identify, connect, and develop women talents. The program will empower emerging women leaders through recognition, networking opportunities across sectors, and leadership development support. Participants will gain access to training, mentoring from senior women role models, and a community of peers. The goal is to nurture the next generation of women leaders by giving them early support and investment. Organizations are encouraged to identify potential participants and support the program through sponsorship or development opportunities.

Diversity in the Board Room_ How to Unlock Its Full Potential - by Christiana...Christiana Vonofakou, PhD
This document discusses diversity in corporate boardrooms and leadership. It argues that while increasing gender diversity is important, simply adding more women is not enough. True diversity requires addressing potential pitfalls like stereotypes and lack of trust that can inhibit creative thinking. It recommends five conditions to maximize the benefits of diversity: 1) organizational encouragement of equal status, 2) leadership support, 3) emphasis on common goals, 4) intergroup cooperation, and 5) developing personal relationships to overcome initial distrust.
This document provides discussion questions about key concepts from the books "Built to Last" and "Good to Great" focused on leadership, culture, and sustained success. The questions are grouped into sections on Level 5 Leadership, First Who, Confront the Brutal Facts, Hedgehog Concept, Culture of Discipline, Technology Accelerators, Flywheel, and Preserve the Core/Stimulate Progress. The questions are designed to help readers gain a deeper understanding of the ideas presented in the books and apply them to analyzing organizations and leading change.
Boardsource Profile of TechSoup's 'Co-CEO' model July 2011TechSoup
This document summarizes key points from an article in the Board Member magazine about generational tensions on nonprofit boards.
The article discusses tensions that can arise between different generations on boards, with a focus on Baby Boomers and Millennials. While technology use and work ethics may differ between generations, the article argues that great leadership can overcome these tensions by articulating a compelling vision and understanding people's diverse aspirations. An example is given of Dorothy from The Wizard of Oz, who successfully led a group with different goals by focusing on their shared main goal and accommodating their side aspirations. The article concludes by advising focusing on leadership rather than secondary generational issues.
It is officially no longer a secret that the tech industry is dominated by White males. The admissions of Google et al in the past couple of months have proven that there is safety in numbers, and not in a good way.
In this Whitepaper we discuss the data, look beyond the facts, and review the initiatives across the industry as a whole which is attempting to redress the balance, in both the short and long term.

The document discusses the future of education and skills needed for jobs. It argues that education needs to shift from a focus on narrow technical skills to broader social and collaboration skills. Learners should be at the center of education and it should be personalized to individual learners. The purpose of education is to build confidence, agency, and independence in learners so they can make a difference. Education also needs to provide more choice, access to technology, and opportunities for independent learning to prepare students for an uncertain future.

Introduction of Cybersecurity with OSS at Code Europe 2024Hiroshi SHIBATA
I develop the Ruby programming language, RubyGems, and Bundler, which are package managers for Ruby. Today, I will introduce how to enhance the security of your application using open-source software (OSS) examples from Ruby and RubyGems.
The first topic is CVE (Common Vulnerabilities and Exposures). I have published CVEs many times. But what exactly is a CVE? I'll provide a basic understanding of CVEs and explain how to detect and handle vulnerabilities in OSS.
Next, let's discuss package managers. Package managers play a critical role in the OSS ecosystem. I'll explain how to manage library dependencies in your application.
I'll share insights into how the Ruby and RubyGems core team works to keep our ecosystem safe. By the end of this talk, you'll have a better understanding of how to safeguard your code.

3. A last minute suggestion
Last Tuesday, at the Paris Open Source Think Tank, I grabbed
the following sentence from a conversation:
« If you have to promote open source, you must tell stories to
potential adopters and you must put emotion into your stories ».
OSS market is dominated by men. Now my question is:
Are men really able tu put emotion into their stories?
3
4. Introduction
I’m an IT manager leading a FLOSS initiative including four
projects (the best known is SpagoBI).
I’ve led a development team for 30 years.
In the 80’s male/female percentage was 50-50
With new technologies the women rate started to decrease.
Currently I'm leading a 43-persons team, 25% women.
Good enough?

Rewarding Influencing Upward
Mentoring Delegating
Networking
Consulting
Team Building
Inspiring Source: Catalyst, 2005
True or false?
Men and women are basically alike in terms of personality, cognitive ability
and leadership. The similarities are greater than the differences.
Males and females from childhood to adulthood are more alike than different
on most psychological variables.
Gender differences seem to depend on the context in which they are
measured.
Children suffer the consequence of exaggerated claims of gender differences.
American Psychological Association, 2005

7. My poll: feminine traits
Multi-tasking
Focus on co-operation toward a collective result
Healthy (unextreme) competition
Holistic view
Self-analysis, introspection about her own results
Perseverance and patience
Courage and resoluteness
Be able to adapt herself, to change targets accepting the change (especially for
working mothers)
Focus on solving a problem today instead of laying a foundation for an exchange
tomorrow: men are more interested in results & power, women in the realization of a
project
Ability to see, listen and build relationships and in inspiring collaboration
Capability to fulfill an objective and achieve a result also beyond job boundaries.
Source: 6 respondents out of 12 women in my corporate unit
Some of these attitudes don’t help for affirmation and
visibility (i.e.: FLOSS meritocratic model)
7
8. Sentiment and rationality
Femininity gathers the opposite that the thinking way of man
divides.
In senti – ment (the conscious subjective experience of
emotions), a mental activity keeps together (syn, greek term)
the opposite.
Men enter that sentimental system only at intervals.
Men and women use rationality and sentiment in a
different way
This difference must enlarge in order to allow the masculine
rationality - base of our cultural heritage - face its opposite:
the feminine vision of the world that has no confidence with
clear boundary lines.

9. What’s the target?
Following a sole technological vision, men will maintain the
leadership over time.
Following a cognitive vision, women overperform due to
their holistic, systemic and relational system.
Real questions are:
is Information Technology a particular context separated by the digital
world, or is it included in a cognitive ecosystem?
are industries for-profit organizations or collective cognitive enteprises?
is FLOSS a technological activity (and a business activity in last years),
or is it a way to actively participate in an informed way to a cognitive
ecology?
A clear target is crucial to success!
All involved actors (and external audience) must be
aware of it!
9
10. Why women matter
IT sector, from a pragmatic point of view
Women influence or control upward 80% of consumer spending
decisions.
In a world dominated by relationships, collective decisions making and
consumer spending, women are innately better suited than men.
It’s true, probably, but it’s not my point
FLOSS, from a non-technological point of view
A real community relationship refers to a relationship between lovers,
where a lover reflects itself (its unknows inner desiders) in the other.
A community can stably and constantly grow only if members love it: they
are aware of the basic emotional/cognitive relations existing among single
individuals or in a group.
Participation, contributions, trustworthy relations and empathy are crucial.
Feminine traits matter with team and community
building and collaborative development
10
11. Not only more women
Is gender diversity the issue?
Or does it deal with the different gender behavioural traits?
Differencies are not the issue. Anyway, if they exist, they are not deficiencies,
but potential values and opportunities to learn.
FLOSS communities and project teams need peer-support, mentoring,
rewarding, networking, team-building, solidarity, empathy, inclusion,
problem solving, ….
Do this behavioural traits belong to women exclusively?
We need more women's values in people
In other words, we need a wide mix and match of different behavioural traits
in people, increasing the ones dealing with team building and co-operation
and decreasing the importance of competition and self-promotion.
We must revise the FLOSS model, its values and practical rules.
FLOSS was founded by men. We need more women to revise it!
11
12. Main barriers
Understanding the barriers to women is crucial to find a new way to involve
them and to foster different attitudes.
IT sector
IT is a boy thing: girls tend to eliminate consideration of a job in IT in early
stages
Particularly in IT, language is masculine and not inclusive
Sexual stereotypes are alive
IT is one of the most competitive industries
The imbalance of power in IT industry drives women away
Men are more comfortable with men when promoting someone
Lack of commitment both in men and women.
FLOSS
It is basically a technological activity
It tends to increase the competition in the IT sector
Its meritocratic model rewards technological & business results
It is the hackers’ world; clever men don’t waste their time to teach to entrants
Its model is open within its close boundaries
Lack of commitment to women involvement in its boards and communities.
12
13. What could help? Recommendations
Education
change the image of the IT world, nurture real values in new generations,
attract more girls.
IT industry
improve the number of women at all levels as a way to review corporate
values and organization
adopt new organizational model, look at how people achieve their results
instead of at the results themselves, plan for free time for employees,
including mothers
bridge (or reduce, at least) decisional and pay gap
commit all actors to do it.
FLOSS communities
attract more women to FLOSS communities & projects
commit boards to include women
review rewarding and governance models
focus on real values: FLOSS is a part of the cognitive ecosystem.
13
14. The perspective
Our actions are often part of a very restricted vision of the
world; this doesn’t allow ourselves to understand the world
itself and to find the real meaning of our being.
We must enter others’ world, in order to compare stories, to
learn to live in new places, to go along unknown paths, to
see beyond our horizon.
It’s all about FLOSS in an ecological
(non-technological) vision!
It’s all about women and men together!
If all the involved actors don’t share this vision,
any effort is useless.
