And you may know that women hold 46% of the entry-level jobs… But why does this figure dropped down, to ONLY 14% when we get to senior management? Do you think losing 84 % of the most talented women, is hurting companies bottom line? Hell yes! Melissa Greenwell My guest Melissa Greenwell, COO of The Finish Line, and author of the book, “Money On The Table, contends that most women’s initiate programs fail to help women get top jobs in corporate America. She explains what types of actions actually do have an impact on the number of women in leadership roles. And what businesses and women themselves can do to help drive this change. She will show that having more women leaders has a direct and positive impact on a company’s bottom line. Melissa Greenwell Quote on Gender Balanced Leadership “I think an interesting one to watch on this subject is Procter & Gamble, so they have definitely received some very fantastic recognitions relative to diversity, relative to promoting women, and they’re one of the very large companies that is doing a lot of work and has been actually for a very long time around having a flexible workforce. So I don’t know that they have any data published, but they definitely have inferred that taking this approach has yielded better productivity.” Women’s Leadership Success #82 Summary on Gender Balanced Leadership Learn the physical differences between men and women’s brains and how that predispositions us to think differently Why more businesses are started every year in the United States by women versus men? What you need to do differently to make an impact? How organizations have implemented flexible work arrangements to increase productivity. How gender balanced leadership and diversity helps get the best solution that develops the best products and services. What do we as women leaders, as women that want to be successful in businesses and companies, how do we need to show up? Why taking a mentor is really important.
