Editorial: Fostering sustainable development

By Anda Sebesi, Editor-in-Chief, Business Review Magazine

“At the moment, Romania’s middle management is dominated by women, with the most recent statistics showing that they hold around 60% of these positions. But when it comes to top executive roles, women’s representation at the national level still remains relatively low compared to men’s. In the last decade, the Romanian women who were still trying to make it to the top have faced several challenges that many of their fellow male executives may find hard to understand. Some of the biggest obstacles for women aspiring to leadership roles range from the lack of female role models in senior and executive positions and the limited access to networking opportunities to the struggle of balancing career and family and dismantling the stereotypes regarding their leadership abilities. With this in mind, Business Review talked to 13 women holding key management roles in some of the most successful companies on the Romanian market, who provided insight into their professional journeys and shared their views on what it means to be an effective leader.

Meanwhile, this month’s cover story is dedicated to leading real estate group Globalworth, where 46% of management roles are held by women. BR sat down with several women at the company to learn about the company’s leadership and organisational culture, which is focused on encouraging individuals to share their ideas and fostering their confidence, while also supporting constructive feedback, even in sensitive situations. This is how people can be challenged in a positive way in order to grow professionally and develop their personalities at any workplace. This approach creates sustainable and engaging environments and communities, where businesses can flourish and people can evolve—and it is what we need to ensure a long-term sustainable development.”
