As a working professional progressing on her career path, like many other determined young women, I have an ambition to become a leader some day. However, the obstacles and challenges that women face in their workplaces are many and widespread. These intensify as women climb the corporate ladder and maintaining these positions at the top of the ladder can be an arduous task. The “glass ceiling,” has been accepted for the last two decades as the largest obstacle to female advancement in the workplace.
Let us take a look at status quo - While many women like Secretary of State Condoleeza Rice and the CEO of Coca Cola Indira Nui have gained access to influential positions, the number of top female executives still falls far behind the number of men in the same positions. Statistically, while women boastfully occupy 40% of all managerial positions in the United States, only 6% of the Fortune 500’s top executives are female. Furthermore, of those firms, just 2% have women CEOs.
