Women in Leadership: Tackling Challenges for Female Managers through Experiential Learning

In a rapidly changing corporate landscape, the topic of increasing the number of women in leadership positions has never been more crucial. On July 12, 2025, Enfactory Corporation, led by CEO Kenta Kato, and Suriru Corporation, headed by Akiko Horie, will hold a seminar to address the pressing question: "Why do we struggle to develop female managers?" The event focuses on practical leadership and self-confidence through an experiential learning approach. It will delve into the barriers women face in ascending to management roles and offer insights into fostering a supportive environment for their growth. The seminar will be held online via Zoom, emphasizing accessibility while providing a platform for discussing these vital issues.

The Problem Facing Women

Many organizations express a desire to promote women into leadership roles but feel uncertain about the necessary steps to achieve this. The growing emphasis on human capital disclosure amplifies the urgency of improving female managerial representation.

By acquiring practical experience, participants can strengthen their problem-solving abilities and leadership qualities, build confidence, and create networks with like-minded peers.
