I worked ina project about ten years ago looking at why more women weren’t taking more senior roles. We did various things such as interviews and analysis, but I wouldn’t say it was with the degree of rigour that a proper scientific study would follow. Our conclusion was that it was down to the older generation. So, as those older folk leave their roles and are replaced by younger people who have been exposed to the more diversified thin king, we saw a gradual change might occur. So for any company wanting to be truly diverse they have to consciously make changes. And do so at the highest levels of their organisation.
I agree that women work differently than men. They encourage a less competitive way of working, which matches what you say regarding communication and so much more. I’d suggest employing diversity and inclusion (D&I) metrics as that might fit in with what companies are asked to do. That will lead to a more diverse work population. Having more and different ways of thinking will aid the sort of change you’re looking to achieve. Just my thoughts. Well done though for doing what you’ve done and hopefully getting others tontake up the challenge.
