Remarkable champions for gender diversity do exist , Empact Group ’ s own CEO Alan Quinn is among them . Under true gender equality focused leadership , a significant increase in the number of women in leadership roles will be observed . An effective leadership approach includes establishing mentorship programs that pair male leaders with female employees to provide guidance and support ; and implementing inclusive policies that promote gender equality , such as equal pay initiatives and anti-discrimination measures . When a CEO uses his platform to speak about the importance of gender diversity , both within the company and in the industry at large , his active advocacy sets a powerful example for others to follow .
