The Most Admired Women Leaders in Business 2022 Issue II_compressed (1)

students at the Oxford University, who are working towards
their PHD dream.
Being recognised as one of the most powerful women in the
accounting industry, Madeeha was honoured as an
Ausmumpreneur in 2021. Usman encourages and supports
young mothers to create a life of their own dreams.
Madeeha's mentoring was a compelling one, she always
conveyed the inspirational thought
– “If you fail don't lose hope because as the wise saying
goes, we can't change the direction of the wind but we can
certainly adjust the sales”
Yet being one of the most influential women in business,
you can't just dismiss Madeeha as an accountant. She is also
the author of her recently launched book, “The Women
Changing The World” – A story of her life and other
powerful women, who choose to lead life the harder way –
to set an example for women, who are still doubting their
abilities to build themselves.
As per Madeeha, “This book is not only for women, but to
inspire daughters, and sons, for the generations to come”
“Getting to the top at the expense of another woman is not a
sustainable way to get ahead, and, most importantly, doesn't
help our case. The only way that women will be seen as
equal in business is by making sure that there are more
women accomplishing what they deserve in the workforce,
and that takes encouragement”
“This book is not just stories, but real life journeys,
relatable role models – where women in Australia are
changing the world through entrepreneurialism, education,
conscious living, advocacy and innovation”.
“Game Changers”
recently recognised for its “Consulting service” and as a
“Boutique firm” of 2021.
Creating ability through disability
Working with the clients in disability, they realised the
provided service level suffered for the vulnerable. Even
with the proper funding, many individuals with disabilities
were unable to create an independent lives for themselves.
This is when, Care Assure was born…
Madeeha and Kaleem founded Care Assure - a disability
housing and support provider in South Australia.
As the directors of Care Assure, we are not about making
money; the role requires empathy and value creation. And
working towards value creation is not easy, it is about
constant quality assurance, to ensure your clients are being
treated with care and respect.
Providing disability accommodations all over South
Australia, Care Assure is recognised for the seamless
service experience it provides.
Wielding Soft Power
As directors, it's about more than the sales you do or the
money you create; your clients are your centric value. In the
current times of uncertainity, as organisations we must be
sustainable, realistic and exercise quality control. The day
you start working through hierarchy and consider yourself
as a boss! You start to lose your ground as a leader.
Management should value transparency and respect. Not
just profits or expenditures! Provide your team with the
right resources and respect them for their own individuality.
You will end up having a team of passionate individuals
exceeding expectations.
