In this episode of Virtues in Action, Genaro Torres invites us to reflect on the role of women in decision-making and the impact their participation has on organizational and social leadership. In commemoration of International Women’s Day, this conversation goes beyond gender to address a deeper topic: how we can build decision-making spaces that are more just, productive, and human-centered.

Drawing on research, data, and a meaningful conversation with Alejandra Vargas, a Virtus collaborator with more than 15 years of experience, this episode explores both the progress that has been made and the invisible barriers that still exist—such as the impostor syndrome, double standards, and cultural expectations. It also highlights the critical role of allies in opening doors and amplifying real talent.

This episode reminds us that the future of leadership is not about replacing one perspective with another, but about integrating diverse viewpoints to make decisions grounded in human dignity, shared responsibility, and collective purpose.

Because when more women participate in the spaces where important decisions are made, everyone benefits.

A powerful reflection on leadership, equity, and the kind of future we want to build together.
