Although comprising roughly half of the workforce, women hold less than 10% of the top leadership positions. That's a problem.
The question is: what are we gonna do about it?
Having more women on Boards and in C-suites is not only the right thing to do, it's also the right move from a business perspective.
Find out why as I speak to Paul Harrietha & Holly Catalfamo, co-authors of the book, "The Invisible Rules: What's Really Holding Women Back in Business--and How to Fix It." It's a compelling book based on extensive research and one-on-one interviews with 50 senior female leaders from across Canada.
We get into:
- What would happen if we looked at (and treated) gender equality from a business perspective rather than a social one.
- How what they are proposing is actually the opposite of affirmative action.
- Why do we need to re-think systems, HR practices, and talent management to remove systemic biases.
- The 4 Key Biases women face at work and how to manage around them.
- The difference between mentorship and sponsorship.
- What values-based leadership actually is and why it makes decision-making fundamentally easier.
- And, why we all win when women are more equally represented at the top.
