REPORT OF THE JUMP FORUM 2011
From gender diversity to female leadership
What is JUMP Forum?
The JUMP Forum is the biggest single day event dedicated to the professional lives of women and their career planning. Each year it inspires hundreds of professional women and men across Europe, featuring the most successful women and the most brilliant experts in gender diversity.
Five year of JUMP Forum
On Thursday 05 May 2011 the JUMP Forum celebrated its 5th anniversary at The Automotiv House in Brussels! Five years of growing from strength to strength, dedicating ourselves to advancing the professional lives of women and working with companies to promote gender balance.
WITH THE SUPPORT OF THE WOMEN-FRIENDLY COMPANIES
From gender diversity to leadership varietyMore women in management creates a space for men and women to expand the way they lead. Beyond a gender diversity programme, companies should seek to diversify the range of leadership behaviours and spread good practices within the organisation.
New leadership models and corporate structures need to be developed that are more in tune with the competencies and leadership approaches of the women executives whom companies need to attract and keep if they are to remain competitive. Women were being urged to conform to a mainstream leadership style that was considered a fundamental requirement for anyone who hoped to exert authority in public life. Henceforth female leaders and diversity in leadership create competitive advantage by changing the company culture.
Getting new skills for a changing workplace is a strategic decision!
Isabella LenarduzziFounder & Managing Director JUMP
The fifth JUMP Forum prompts us to
question the real meaning behind it.
Thank you for attending this year’s
Forum. Thank you for your loyalty.
Thank you for supporting JUMP’s
mission through your presence.
But what exactly is JUMP’s mission?
Haven’t we already achieved gender
equality? On the occasion of the
Forum’s fifth birthday, I wanted to
expand on this year’s theme, “From
gender diversity to leadership
variety”. Why? Isn’t gender diversity
the ultimate goal?
More women in management
produces a space for men and women
to expand the way they lead. Beyond
a gender diversity programme
companies should seek to diversify
the range of leadership behaviors
and spread good practices within
the organisation. New leadership
models and corporate structures
need to be developed that are
more in tune with the competencies
and leadership approaches of the
women executives whom companies
need to attract and keep if they
are to remain competitive. Women
were being urged to conform to a
mainstream leadership style that
was considered a fundamental
requirement for anyone who hoped
to exert authority in public life.
Henceforth the mass arrival of
women on the labour market is
bringing more diversity in leadership
and creating competitive advantage
by changing business culture making
it more respectful of everyone, both
men and women.
JUMP is therefore not only a tool
for helping more women reach
the top, but above all it is an
avenue for change, leading society
towards greater responsibility and
sustainability. The success of women
is fundamental to this transformation.
Becoming aware of this ultimate aim
of JUMP, I met Marc Luyckx Ghisi at
TED X Brussels. I heard him voice
my thoughts exactly: “Women are
the leading vectors of change”. It
was therefore obvious to me that
he was the right person to lead the
2011 Forum. Here is what he wrote
about JUMP: “In pushing for more
women in leadership positions in
Business and administrations, JUMP
is pushing towards Humanity’s
Let’s give birth to a radically different future
survival, because those women could
propose a shift in the enterprises’
agendas towards more CSR and
sustainability.”
We live in a marvellous era when for
the first time in humanity, we can at
last choose our own path. What we
do with it is our responsibility. We
can imprison ourselves just as we
were imprisoned before, but with
different roles. We should make the
most we can of our lives, because
now we have access to everything.
Furthermore, if we want to become
a force and a voice in this world, we
have to support each other as women
and not let ourselves be distracted
by rivalry. This type of archaic
jealousy is still encountered far too
often. It is mainly the consequence
of thousands of years of domination.
A new culture, a new identity for
men and women is possible. The
world needs truly liberated women
working alongside men so that the
world can take the essential steps
towards greater responsibility.
I can’t resist finishing with a quote
from the philosopher Alain Touraine,
who explains that the reason why
women want power is to share it:
“The world of women, whose goal is
not the destruction of domination but
the construction of self, is driven by
the desire to experience an existence
which they themselves have
transformed, and the re-ordering of
society. Men, in contrast, conquered
the world by concentrating power
within the hands of just a few.”
WelcomeIsabella LenarduzziFounder & Managing Director JUMP
For the first time in humanity, we can at last choose our own path. What we do with it is our responsibility
«
JUMP is an enabler of a new and more
sustainable society. But it is also in
the same time helping business
leaders to generate more intangible
assets, which are counting for more
than 50% of its value on the stock
market. It is thus pushing enterprises
towards a win-win scenario for
society and for business.
We will not be able to solve our
problems with the old patriarchal
values of «CCC" (command control
and conquer). Those values which
have dominated our societies for
5000 years at least, are not going
to make it. We will have to introduce
a new cocktail of values of respect
and care for nature, for society and
for ourselves. Now usually women
are more able than men to introduce
those new life-oriented values in
society and business. In pushing for
more women in leadership positions
in Business and administrations,
JUMP is pushing towards Humanity’
survival, because those women could
propose a shift in the enterprises
agenda’s towards more CSR and
Sustainability. We see indeed some
important groups of enterprises
which begin to claim that for them
profit is only a consequence of their
action towards Humanity’s Common
Good. JUMP could be seen as
pushing enterprises in the direction
of becoming «part of the solution"
instead of «part of the problem"
increasing at the same time their
intangible value".

Dorothy Dalton

Michèle Mees
Thank you for inviting me to participate in the 5th anniversary JUMP event. I thought it was a very successful, and a very thought-provoking, event – and it was a pleasure to meet (some!) of the 550 delegates.
Peninah Thomson
Thank you for having me at the JUMP forum. I much appreciated to be there, meet with you and many other interesting women and attend the workshops.
Hebe Boonzaaijer
Je pense sincèrement que le combat n’est pas simplement pour les femmes, mais pour une humanité plus éveillée! Et si cela doit se faire par nous «les femmes» et bien, il me semble que nous sommes plus courageuses et plus audacieuses que les hommes pour les choses qui concerne l’avenir.
Xanthippe Laziradis
Thanks for the great seminar. I had nothing but good feedback from participants, they all said it was very interesting to them and set them to think.
Evy Hellinckx
What a wonderful time and brilliant speakers.
Dyahanne Ware
There was such a great atmosphere and a real sense of hope of change which is of course what you are all about. You should be immensely proud. Not an easy task but it really feels like you are making an impact.
