Women’s Web is saying Goodbye! Please make sure you read this important notification.
Although inspiration is important for each one of us, for women it goes a level up and becomes extremely critical to find women leaders who inspire.
As the case generally is, men and women start their careers with the same level of intelligence, education, and commitment. Yet in today’s large organization, as women climb up the corporate ladder, few reach the top echelons. So why there is a formidable gender gap for senior-leadership positions?
One of the main reasons for this huge gender difference in the higher stratum is because women lack motivation within their fraternity. There are three fundamental ways to get people to do things: either they can be coerced, or motivated or inspired. There are few women in leadership positions who can inspire other women to follow them. The ability to inspire is very important, since it helps foster high levels of employee engagement and commitment.
