Christine Lagarde speaks of 3Ls - learning, labour and leadership - as the three essential factors for women empowerment. The third 'L' is the Leadership. Leadership enables women to rise and fulfill their innate abilities and talents. Here there is plenty of room for improvement. Women should be ready to ‘dare the difference’ by coming out of their comfort zones.

The third "L" is leadership that enables women to rise and fulfil
their innate abilities and talents. Here, there is plenty of room for
improvement. The irony is that when women lead they tend to do as
good a job as others, if not abetter job. They are more likely to make
decisions based on consensus-building, inclusion, compassion and with
a focus on long-term sustainability. It is true that women sometimes
lack the confidence to match their competence. But they need to
change that mindset and reset the narrative in their favour. So it is
essential that women be ready to "dare the difference" -- to take risks
and step outside their comfort zones. Nonetheless, even those with the
drive to succeed continue to face barriers: whether we are talking
about providing primary education for girls in a village, or executive
positions for women in business.
It is time to create a world where all women can meet their
potential without impediment or prejudice and the world will reap the
benefits. The three Ls will help us get there.
If we dare the difference, the difference will deliver.
Thank you very much.
