Ten Ways Up: How Exceptional Female Leaders Master the Path to the Top

Más información sobre el libro

5.3 percent of CEOs are named John. 4.5 percent are named David. 4.1 percent are women. Senior corporate ranks are offered to, and held by, too few millennial women. That situation is changing but the change is slow to come. Existing pipeline programs designed to progress women into management roles are flawed for today's young women. Women compose only 5.9% of the S&P 500 CEOs. "Break the Glass Ceiling" movements are barely putting a dent in gender pay gaps as well as falling short of creating pathways for aspiring female executives. Most agree that change must happen, but historical solutions are failing today's young women. Author Kathryn Shortsleeve offers a unique, fresh perspective for how women, especially young women, can attain senior leadership roles in corporate business. Based on numerous interviews and analyses of female CEOs around the globe, *Ten Ways Up: How Exceptional Female Leaders Master the Path to the Top* brings the journeys of some of the most successful women in business, for example Ursula Burns and Meg Whitman, to the reader. Gleaned from her extensive research, Shortsleeve offers perspective, insight and a verifiable roadmap to offer proven paths for a future generation of women to achieve leadership positions in business. Becoming the next female CEO has never been more accessible.
