Get Ready for the Conclave

Leadership influences the direction, motivation, and productivity of individuals and groups. It involves guiding and inspiring others to achieve common goals, fostering innovation, building relationships, and making tough decisions. By discussing leadership, we can learn from different perspectives, strategies, and experiences to improve our own leadership skills and contribute positively to the world around us.

ADIRA 2024, now in its third edition, stands as the flagship program of CII-IWN Salem. This annual leadership conclave provides a platform for thought leaders and influencers to share insights into their professional journeys, successes, and the invaluable lessons learned. Drawing participants from diverse backgrounds, the event on Friday, 15th March 2024, at Hotel Radisson Salem, promises a day of engagement, learning, and the application of leadership principles for personal and professional growth.

The overarching theme for this year's conclave is "Reimagining Leadership: A Transformative Path towards 2030," featuring plenary sessions, breakout discussions, and panel talks on sub-topics related to the main theme.

REIMAGINING LEADERSHIP: A TRANSFORMATIVE PATH TOWARDS 2030

In an era defined by rapid change and technological advancement, the landscape of leadership is undergoing a profound evolution. The tried-and-true solutions and tools of yesteryear no longer suffice in navigating the complexities of the present day. Emerging technologies have ushered in a new era, demanding leaders to adapt and align their skills with the dynamic needs of the modern world.

As we stand at the threshold of 2030, the economics, politics and socialization of leadership dynamics is changing. There is an imperative to reimagine leadership has never been more pressing. It goes beyond adapting to change; it requires a transformative approach that not only acknowledges the shifting paradigms but also capitalizes on them. Leaders, as architects of influence, play a pivotal role in shaping not just the dynamics of the workplace but also the broader fabric of society.

The increasing prominence of female leaders in India is reshaping the narrative of leadership, heralding a new era of inclusivity and diversity. Women are no longer confined to the sidelines but are stepping into key roles across industries, politics, and social sectors, challenging traditional norms and stereotypes.

This shift is not just a matter of representation but also a testament to the invaluable contributions women make as leaders. Their unique perspectives, empathy, and collaborative approach bring fresh insights to decision-making processes, driving innovation and fostering a more inclusive work culture.

Moreover, the rise of female protagonists in leadership positions is a reflection of India's evolving socio-economic landscape. With greater access to education and opportunities, women are breaking barriers and shattering glass ceilings, and forging a future that is inclusive.

In conversations about leadership in India, it's imperative to recognize and celebrate the rising role of female protagonists, not just as a trend but as a transformative force driving positive change across the nation.

Be it men or women, today’s leaders must possess astuteness, foresight, and adaptability to navigate the intricate interplay of evolving tools, technologies, and people's changing needs. The essence of leadership lies in creating influence that fosters a positive and productive environment – one that resonates with the demands of the present while charting a transformative path towards the challenges and opportunities that lie ahead in the journey to 2030.

Women account for 48% of India's population, but have not been equal beneficiaries of the country's economic growth. India slipped to the 112th spot (from its 108th position in 2018) in the World Economic Forum's Global Gender Gap Index 2020 which covered 153 economies. Only one-quarter of women compared with 82% of men, engage actively in the labour market - one of the lowest participation rates in the world. Women account for 14% of leadership roles and 30% of professional and technical workers. Female political representation remains a concern too: 14.4% of the parliament and 23% of the cabinet.

The ongoing COVID 19 pandemic has also served to accentuate the problem.

This is supplemented by exposing women to new opportunities presented by the ecosystem with the objective of inclusion and growth of women in the workforce and in enhancing their contribution to the progress of India.

IWN is spread around the country; in the cities of Delhi, Chandigarh, Rajasthan, Assam, West Bengal, Jharkhand, Bihar, Goa, Gujarat, Madhya Pradesh, Maharashtra, Aurangabad, Pune, Kolhapur, Indore, Andhra Pradesh, Telangana, Karnataka, Kerala, Puducherry, Tamil Nadu, Coimbatore, Salem and Erode.
