February 10, 2009 - Where will tomorrow’s leaders come from? For companies on every continent, the answer to that simple question remains elusive and starkly sobering.
The ascension of an alarmingly small number of exceptionally qualified women to the role of Chief Executive Officer or Board Director for some of the world’s largest companies may suggest, to some, that the balance of men and women in top management is nearing parity. Yet true parity for the sole sake of equity isn’t a widely accepted objective. Rather, the future diversification of management speaks to the potential to optimise organisational performance as consumer segments diversify.
The practice experiences and personal insights of Transearch International consultants from around the world are captured in the White Paper entitled 'Scratching The Surface: Women In The Boardroom'. They point to the need for significant organisational change to identify and reverse the institutional dynamics that derail, de-motivate and/or devalue the career advancement of women.
They also suggest that women leaders – much like the companies that employ them – will need to change the way they do business, and that men, too, must play a role in helping them do just that.
