Culture, Inclusion & Accounting Talent: Juana Bordas
In this episode of the Accounting Influencers Podcast hosted by Rob Brown, the guest, Dr Juana Bordas, discusses the importance of intergenerational and intercultural leadership in the accounting industry. Bordas explains that elders play a crucial role as a bridge between generations, sharing their experiences and perspectives. She emphasises the need for diversity in leadership to create a multicultural global world that taps into the talents of all different cultures, ethnic groups, and nationalities.
Juana also discusses the impact of women in leadership roles, noting that women CEOs can help the bottom line by bringing their people skills and relationship orientation with them. She suggests that leaders should think about the future and prepare for trends such as the increasing youthfulness, multiculturalism, globalisation, and digitisation of the world. Bordas explains that young people today value work-life balance, meaning and purpose in their careers and want to connect with others, including getting to know their stories and narratives. She argues that intergenerational and intercultural leadership is vital for enriching organisations and enhancing humanity.
