Prof.Dr. Nuria Chinchilla, Professor of Managing People in Organizations at IESE Business School (Barcelona, Spain), University of Navarra, holds the Carmina Roca and Rafael Pich-Aguilera Women and Leadership Chair. Together with Pilar Garcia Lombardia & Esther Jiménez Lopez, she published a book in 2022 on synergetic leadership entitled: by the Hands of the Best, key to synergetic Leadership translated into English in autumn 2023.

Prof. Dr Nuria Chinchilla will present the content of this book during the webinar.

The aim of the book is to integrate all the dimensions of Life in female leaders (acting at the same time as a professionnal, a mother and a spouse) leading to eliminate glass ceilings, stereotypes, micromachisms and prejudices in cooperation with men.

The authors developed 17 case studies with 17 women having achieved an integrated Life.

The aim of the online seminar is to describe with practical examples how those women achieved work-life integration with a high position in society. The seminar will be accompanied by the intervention of the audience, an exchange of views and future perspectives.

What they have in common?

The various professionals to be mentioned have in common a passion for achieving goals, for surpassing themselves, for creating and developing a family life which is the basic pillar of their stability and sense of achievement.

Some quotes of synergetic leadership from the 17 women in leadership

"My father instilled in me the motto of always seeking economic independence so that I could become whatever I wanted to be”

“Above all she values her husband and best friend, an intelligent, generous man with a great sense of humour and her biggest fan.”

“She affirms that nothing is impossible if you set your mind to it, and that continuous learning is necessary”.

“Everything she has learned as a mother she has been able to apply in her work”.

"My parents have also been key with their help and example. They supported me from the beginning, even though they didn't understand my way of seeing the future”.

“She advises to look for a friend, a woman manager or counsellor who can be your mentor. Because we women are very good at advising other women.”

“In order to harmonise the different facets of life she says: the correct selection of a husband is” vital.”

“My father taught me that the sky was the infinite limit and my mother taught me that it doesn't really matter the quantity of time I spent, what matters is the quality of its use"
