081 / Glass Half-Broken with Colleen Ammerman
Has the glass ceiling been shattered? Well, with only 8% women CEOs in the Fortune 500, approximately 25% women holding the 5 most critical C-suite positions in the thousand largest corporations, and zero women presidents in our nation's 245 year old history\u2026I\u2019d say there\u2019s cracks, but no shattering quite yet.\nIn today\u2019s episode of \u201cThis Is Woman\u2019s Work\u201d, Colleen Ammerman - Director of the Harvard Business School Gender Initiative, a researcher with Life and Leadership After HBS, a study of the post MBA alumni that examines how race, gender and other factors shape their life and career experiences - talks about glass ceilings. She\u2019s the co-author of Glass Half-Broken:Shattering the Barriers That Still Hold Women Back at Work, where the pervasive organizational obstacles and managerial actions that create gender imbalances are identified, and solutions and strategies are provided so companies can BECOME glass shattering organizations.\nThere is still much progress to be made and while we\u2019re working on shattering all the glass, I invite you to build your confidence. Don\u2019t let yourself be surrounded by people who diminish, devalue or drain your energy. Confidence may be the most important resource you have.\nThis Is Woman\u2019s Work.\nTo learn more about Colleen you can find her on LinkedIn or Twitter @colleenammerman, or get added to her mailing list by visiting: www.hbs.edu/gender\nTo learn more about what we are up to outside of this podcast, visit us at NicoleKalil.com
