I think that women still need to sacrifice more than men for successful careers and that in addition to the general bias, our existing structures in companies do not favor women in leadership. Knowing quite a number of women Read more…
I agree with the recommendations of this article regarding redesigning leadership training completely from the scratch. Currently, I see more attempts to transfer the traditional training into the virtual world with the minimum amount of changes, so a complete redesign with all the modern possibilities makes sense.

I still find it difficult to believe that companies would so easily miss out on 50% of the available workforce due to gender bias. And while it might be unlikely, I still hope that I will see the day during my career, when we no longer talk about the gender of a leader, but simply hire the best person to do the job. #leadership #genderbias #womeninleadership https://www.duuoo.io/post/why-the-world-needs-more-female-leaders
