Women and Leadership

Dr. Roy Adler’s ground-breaking longitudinal research demonstrated that women in the executive suite correlate to higher profit. Research by McKinsey and Company, Catalyst and the Conference Board of Canada reinforces Dr. Adler’s findings and adds further data that confirms gender diversity on Boards also contributes to higher returns.

Further, brain science research demonstrates the value of masculine and feminine differences in the workplace. We’ve come a long way in recognizing the unique contributions and value of both genders to success in the workplace. But awareness is only the first step. Organizations need to capitalize on these differences.
