Women bring distinct qualities that significantly enhance organizational success. They approach leadership with a heightened capacity for empathy, connection-building, and inclusiveness, according to years of research on female executives. These traits emphasize the contributions they make as leaders.
Since 2016, women in senior leadership roles across various industries have been on the rise, with the technology, information, and media sectors leading the way, according to the 2023 Gender Gap report by the. In these sectors, women in director roles rose from 30.8% in 2016 to 33.2% in 2022. Despite this progress, a gap remains, as men continue to dominate the higher leadership ranks, holding 71.7% of VP positions and 74.6% of C-suite roles.
This disparity in leadership roles is not indicative of a lack of ambition among women — far from it. McKinsey’sreport paints a clear picture of this reality: women across all levels are eager for career advancement that parallels that of their male counterparts. Notably, 90% of women under 30 actively seek promotions, with three in four setting their sights on reaching senior leadership positions.
As we strive towards a more equitable future in the corporate world, we must focus on filling the pipeline with qualified women candidates and fixing the ‘broken rung’ that often impedes their progression to senior leadership roles. By creating more accessible pathways and eliminating systemic barriers at crucial career junctures, we empower women to realize their leadership potential and enrich organizations with diverse perspectives and innovative approaches.
