More often than not, women in leadership roles are shifting jobs, and aspirational young women are prepared to follow suit. If businesses want to truly, sustainably advance gender equality, they must go above and beyond the bare criteria. Women are already noticeably underrepresented in leadership roles. For years, fewer women have been rising through the ranks as a result of the “broken rung” at the first step up to management. Businesses are presently struggling to retain the relatively small number of female executives they have. Furthermore, all of these factors are noticeably more apparent to women of color.
Although women in leadership roles often face barriers that prevent them from progressing, they are just as driven as men. They are more likely to experience degrading microaggressions, such having their judgment called into question or being mistaken for a lower-class person. “World’s Most Prominent Women Leaders in Business, 2024”, has featured many visionary women leaders like Wende Amerie who are putting up more effort to support inclusivity and worker well-being, but this crucial work is taxing them and generally going unrecognized.
