Saturday Odd Bits Roundup: Bossy Women
by Miki SaxonAs I wrote last week, the days of telling women (or men) to choose between career and life are numbered.
Globally and domestically women are taking the bull by the horns, banding together and forcing change.
It may seem to be at a glacial rate, but change is change and you can see it more clearly in hindsight.
Recent studies show that women may be more likely to blow the whistle, but not necessarily for the reasons you might think.
But the best news for women is found in numbers crunched in Europe—having them is profitable.
“European firms with the highest proportion of women in power saw their stock value climb by 64 percent over two years, compared with an average of 47 percent, according to a 2007 study by the consulting firm McKinsey and Company.”
That’s good news, because selling management on profit is far easier than selling them on doing something because it’s the right thing to do.
And be sure to check out Forbes list of the most highly paid corporate women, you may find some surprises.
