Report: Women in Public Service Leadership - Insights and Experiences

To mark International Women's Day celebrates the work of female leaders in public service.

At Mutual Ventures, we’ve spent nearly fifteen years working alongside public service leaders, and in that time, we’ve been lucky to meet and collaborate with so many inspiring women – leaders who care deeply, drive meaningful change, and refuse to compromise when it comes to delivering the best services for the people they serve. This year, for International Women’s Day, we wanted to do something different.

We wanted to celebrate the fantastic women in our network and our own team. But we also wanted to spark a conversation: What is it really like to be a female leader in public services? Is leadership easier or harder for women? Do women bring something unique to leadership? These are not always easy questions, but at Mutual Ventures, we never shy away from a thought-provoking discussion. We launched a survey to pose these questions to our network and were delighted with the response.

The result is our report Women in Public Service Leadership: Insights & Experiences, packed-full of insights.

Our report includes:

• Key survey findings on the experiences of women working in public services

• Case studies of inspiring female leaders Ana Popovici Executive Director of Children’s Services at the London Borough of Wandsworth and Rachel Law CEO of PossAbilities

• Practical ideas for making your organisations more inclusive
