Fionn BowdScott Simmons and I were joined by our special guest Anna Lozynski, and the battle topic for the night was 'are women better at leading innovation?'

The discussion was so incredible that I found it very difficult to summarise everything we discussed, but here goes! Topics included -

-analysis of the stats published in Anna's article on 'Is the Future of Legal Transformation Female?' (https://lnkd.in/gdKsmReJ)
-a discussion on how the 'glass cliff' relates to the legal profession
-are women being ‘groomed’ to take on transformation and innovation roles within organisations?
-a discussion on innovation in law firms vs in-house - would private practice be more innovative if more women were in leadership/equity partnership roles?
-a discussion on what drives innovation - is it innovation to drive change or innovation to integrate and maintain the status quo?
-what role does mentorship vs sponsorship play in women moving into leadership roles?  
-is it because of gender, or is it because of the position of being an 'outlier', that results in women being better at leading innovation?

One point we all agreed on was that we need more research and data on this topic! I would love to hear your thoughts, so please comment below!
