In a time of transformation, retail needs bold, inclusive leadership.

This powerful new report from Russell Reynolds Associates and World Retail Congress lays bare the structural barriers, talent pipeline challenges, and mindset gaps still preventing women from reaching the highest levels of leadership in retail.

Part of the World Retail Congress Knowledge Partner series, this report draws on extensive research and executive interviews to show why inclusion is not just a moral imperative - it’s a business one.

Inside, you will learn:

• Why women remain underrepresented in CEO and feeder roles - and how to fix it
• The confidence and cultural gaps holding back high-potential women leaders
• Why men and women weigh career decisions differently - and what that means for employers
• How leading organisations are updating hiring, promotion, and succession practices for real change
• The future-facing leadership traits that boards and CEOs should prioritise now
