Why Men Win at Work

But when she reached the top, she found herself in an overwhelmingly male environment. She was one of the mere 7% of leaders of major organisations who are women. Since leaving the beauty multinational, she has dedicated her time to understanding how this imbalance comes about, why talented women are so often overlooked, and what practical steps we can all take to achieve genuine diversity and inclusion in corporate leadership.

It is clearly ethical and just that women - along with other under-represented groups - should take a fair share of these roles. But it’s also sound business sense: diverse organisations, able to draw on a broad range of perspectives, experiences, and ideas, and better reflect their customer base, are up to 30% more profitable and more innovative. Whitty-Collins asks: how can organisations truly unlock the full potential of their employees? And what can we all do - as parents and partners, teachers and employers - to empower girls and women to reach their full potential and thrive in the workplace?
