Our thanks to a supporter for an article by Professor M.S. Rao, a self-styled “Global Leadership Guru”, titled, Are Women Failures as CEOs? The answer is clearly, “Of course – DUH!!!”. An extract from the idiot’s article:
“There are several reasons for the low-level participation of women in C-suite positions. Some of them include high pressure and stress levels. Women are more relationship-oriented than men and care for more relations thus undermining their positions as leaders and adversely affecting their career advancement. Women have different biological issues and challenges. They take the break for motherhood and care of their children and spouse. They find it tough to manage board politics and pressures. They often lack adequate soft skills to handle the people at the board. They don’t get encouraging support from all stakeholders. At times, boards don’t support women wholeheartedly leading to their exit.
The boards that are led by women leaders have less scandals and more transparency. They improve the organizational bottom lines. [J4MB emphasis: No they don’t, they worsen it.] It is challenging to analyze and understand why boards don’t encourage women at the helm when they know that women lead effectively and improve financial performance. It seems something is wrong somewhere. Probably the boards must change their perception toward women leaders and view them as assets.”
