The FTSE Women Leaders Review this week revealed significant strides made on boards and overall in leadership for women.
When I first established this business over 10 years ago, the conversation centered around women securing a minimum 30% of leadership positions and board roles.
Companies in the FTSE 100 now boast 42% women on boards and the FTSE 250 43%. Women’s representation in leadership stands at 35.2%
Which seems low, given in an ideal world merit alone would qualify an individual for any role. This highlights the necessity to create opportunities to build a suitable pipeline for future leaders.
Indeed, a world in which we chase gender-neutral targets could be in sight. What needs to happen is a cultural shift so that a more balanced division appears normal.
