  • Summary

  • The Wall Street Journal recently reported that, “women today lead 167 of the country’s top 3,000 companies – more than double the share a decade ago, but still under 6%.” “Despite all the attention and the one-off successes, the overall picture still looks bleak,” says,” co-founder of Her New Standard, Ellen Keithline Byrne. The problem is people are stuck in the old narratives about what’s holding women back and not shifting their perceptions to what the data shows. Denise D’Agostino, co-founder of Her New Standard, says that “what’s encouraging is that more and more research is clearly indicating that diversity of thought at the top of an organization contributes to increased productivity, innovation and profits. It’s not just nice to have a more equitable workforce, it’s a good business decision. With these findings, companies are taking a more serious look at how to make changes, but as we know, changing how we do things is hard.”
