In business, the path to value creation requires more than strategic planning and execution - it demands an ability to connect the dots, anticipate needs, and understand the human elements that drive progress. Women often demonstrate these capabilities through their natural inclination to consider multiple perspectives and implications before making decisions. This approach, which emphasises understanding the complete picture rather than just individual components, can lead to more sustainable and meaningful business outcomes.
