Despite gender biases in the workplace, especially for industries traditionally dominated by men, women are now rising to the top and showcasing their unique brand of leadership.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Eastern Communications, a premier telecommunications company in the country, believes in diversity and inclusion and with two women at the helm, the company\u2019s success is a showcase of what women leaders can do in the workplace. Moreover, its key partners, Plantation Bay and Australian – New Zealand Chamber of Commerce, also led by powerful women, can also attest to the effectiveness of having women at the top.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

How have these women made an impact in their respective fields? Here are some insights on their experiences.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Being in the industry for 15 years, Plantation Bay General Manager Cherry Allego says that believing in the power of influence within an organization can greatly impact people\u2019s behaviors, attitudes, and perceptions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Because to her, \u201cGreatness is not measured merely by how long you served or by your gender. It is how you influence others to do great. With this, we grow together in our field of expertise and take pride in the learnings we acquired through the years.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Allego also continues to emphasize the importance of understanding what the organization needs and trusting the capabilities of your group in order to prosper together. Moreover, she is driven by the power of giving and getting full support through influencing others to strive for growth and excellence.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cThe secret is to serve with all your heart. There is nothing to fear when you know you have the full support of the group.\u201d she added.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Unwavering perseverance<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

For the executive director for Australia-New Zealand Chamber of Commerce, Maricar Gonzales understands the challenge of proving yourself as a woman worthy of a higher position while steering a company in the middle of a pandemic.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cIt\u2019s just ingrained in me that failure is not trying. I focus on what needs to be done, and more importantly, the why. Also, when things don\u2019t work out, I see it as a step closer to success and just keep progressing\u201d she stated.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The year 2020 might have been a rough year for most industries but Gonzales said that the last year has been the best year for the chamber since it began 40 years ago. Her ability to lead the company towards success in these taxing times can be attributed to her consistent persevering attitude.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
