Some Inconvenient (Leadership) Truths
Negotiations are a major tool society uses to address vital issues, but:– Women are significantly under-represented– Results in skewed perspectives– Ignores “societal perfect storm” in which
negotiations occur

The Cynicism Trap

But Stakes Could Not be Higher
Today’s “operating environment” is:• Conflict prone • Boundary-less• Lawless• Depleted

Yes, but…
Prepare to be:• Disliked (Harvard Business School)• Ignored (Cecilia Ridgeway)• Underpaid (Institute for Women’s Policy
Research)• In the minority (World Economic Forum)

Strategies for Resetting the Table
![Page 13: #IMPACTv #LiveTalk by Mil Niepold](https://reader034.vdocument.in/reader034/viewer/2022042906/58a450d21a28ab55068b5391/html5/thumbnails/13.jpg)
Step 1. Improve Who’s at the Table“I’m not sure how bringing the warriors together around the table actually results in peace”.
Amb. Swanee Hunt
Getting a Seat at the table:• Northern Ireland: women formed a political party just 6 weeks
before the negotiations in order to have a seat at the table• Yemen: women found male relatives to escort them to negotiations• Papua New Guinea: World Bank provided childcare to ensure
women in mining communities could participate in the community meetings

Step 2: Answer the “Why Women?” Question Carefully

Multiple Choice Quiz:Fork in the (Pre-Negotiating) Road
Why should men have more women at the negotiating table? Because of:
a. Parity/equity/women’s rightsb. They need more coffee brought in c. It is required (quotas, constitutions, etc.)d. Women flirted with theme. It is the secret to a successful negotiation (impact/reaching goals, innovation)

And yet….
• According to University of Lausanne Professor, John Antonakis “the good styles of leadership come more naturally to women”
• Like it or not, you’ll still need more “ammunition” to get in the room
![Page 17: #IMPACTv #LiveTalk by Mil Niepold](https://reader034.vdocument.in/reader034/viewer/2022042906/58a450d21a28ab55068b5391/html5/thumbnails/17.jpg)
Ammunition: AKA The “Business” Case • Research shows that increasing women’s
voice/agency/decision-making authority, etc. improves organizational performance, governance, innovation and human development outcomes. World Economic ForumWorld BankMcKinseyGoldman SachsOxford University
• “Gender Inequality Costs As Much As the American and Chinese Economies Combined”

GHANA & HUMAN TRAFFICKINGWomen’s Leadership Case Study

Women and Trafficking
• 80% of trafficking victims are women & girls• Gender sensitive approaches to trafficking are
victims’ services• 2 countries in the world have put women on the
front lines (Ghana and Nicaragua)• Strong case for women in prosecution/border
protection/legal/police roles (women in these roles are less corruption and trafficking thrives in corrupt environments)
