Strong women in focus: Network evening for company succession in VS!

in the heart of Villingen-Schwenningen, more precisely in the cozy frame of Hugos Weinbar, the network evening "Women in the successor" recently took place. This event, organized by the Black Forest-Baar-Heuberg founding garden, was all about the nationwide action day "Succession is female". As suedkurier offered successful successors on the podium into their experiences and the challenges that Business management met.

The event offered a platform for remarkable women such as Sarah Weisser from Haus der 1000 watches in Triberg, Carina Bertram from VBM Medical in Sulz and Carina Katz from Power-Hydraulik, also from Sulz. The hostess, Annette Müller, who reported on her experiences with Hugo Müller GmbH, and business development agency Susanne Orlowski emphasized the need to make women more visible in the business world. Orlowski made it clear: "Targeted formats like this are essential for the development of women in business."

Change of role models and new opportunities

The challenges that women face are varied. Certain stereotypical views such as the idea that women are "too emotional" for management positions are persistent. The emotional intelligence that women often achieve is indispensable for successful corporate management. In addition, flexible management models that enable CO-LEADERSHIP are valuable solutions for the compatibility of family and career and offer new perspectives.

personal experiences and success

The moderators of the evening, Marlene Roming from the IHK Schwarzwald-Baar-Heuberg and Ursula Schulz from the Steinbeis advisory center for company succession, revealed the variety of challenges and success. Roming emphasized that "successor is not a male topic" and that it was time to make women visible in the corporate management. This is also underpinned by Great place to work , which examines the connection between female leadership and a positive corporate culture.

The data show that women often have different experiences in management positions than their male colleagues, which is expressed in the evaluation of the workplace culture. Interestingly, women have fewer role models and mentors, but a high proportion of them in management positions is not only advantageous for companies, but also improves their reputation and working atmosphere.

Finally, it can be stated that the company succession must be increasingly being considered. Women are not only able to keep family businesses modern and future -proof, but they can also make a decisive contribution to solving the continuing follow -up problem in Germany. The Black Forest-Baar-Heuberg founding garden is committed to creating the necessary framework conditions and giving women the opportunity to fully develop their leadership skills. It remains to be hoped that the next few months and years will bring fruitful change so that women in the economy continue to gain in importance and influence.
