Women Are Creating The Glass Ceiling And Have The Power To End It

For nearly four decades, the glass ceiling has become an impenetrable barrier for most aspiring women leaders. Today, only 6.6 % of CEOs of Fortune 500s are women and only 11% of women are top earners at these most profitable companies. It has been four decades since the Pregnancy Act went into effect in 1979 when the doors were wide open for women to rise to the top. Additionally, for more than a decade, women have earned more bachelors, masters and doctorate degrees, yet the glass ceiling stays firm. This book shares exciting research revealing the true reasons the glass ceiling exists and it is not what people think. That is why today's solutions are not working and women are not rising as they should. The bottom line is that if we don't change the current trajectory, it will take approximately 400 years to attain just 50% of Fortune 500 CEO positions. That is insane. Added to the glass ceiling dilemma is the increasingly fearful environment for men executives due to the #MeToo movement and Kavanaugh hearings. New objective solutions, in this book, based on win-win solutions without pointing fingers or playing the blame game, and that build trust, are essential. Women Are Creating the Glass Ceiling and Have the Power to End It provides breakthrough scientific research and fresh, tangible solutions that will work for women, men, and the organizations they serve to end the glass ceiling within a decade.
