Washington, DC—On November 1, 2010 Anne Mulcahy, former Chairman and CEO of the Xerox Corporation, addressed the Women’s Foreign Policy Group’s Celebrating Women’s Leaders luncheon on “Leading a Global Corporation” at the Four Seasons Hotel. The event was moderated by ABC News Business Correspondent Bianna Golodryga and was attended by senior government officials, corporate executives, ambassadors, and NGO leaders. At the event, WFPG launched a new program series, Women Shaping the Global Economy. Event Chair Ann Korologos noted that "[WFPG] could not have selected a better speaker" for the occasion.

Mulcahy spoke about leadership lessons learned at Xerox, the qualities of good leadership, challenges for corporations today, the relationship between business and government, and the importance of public-private partnerships, including the role of NGOs. She discussed her own experience at Xerox and what she believes to be essential qualities of a good leader: listening, having a clear vision, authenticity, and maintaining a strong relationship with your people.
