Episode Synopsis "The Leadership Gap Between Men and Women - Nothing practical to explain it!"
The Leadership Gap Between Men and Women - Nothing practical to explain it! Women earn college degrees at a higher rate than men. As of 2013, 60% of all bachelor’s degrees in the United States were earned by women. We earn less than men and holder fewer senior positions in government, business and private industry. Look at our planet, our communities, our economy and our welfare situation. It's time for us to step up, we cannot do any worse than the men we follow behind in these crucial roles. In spite of their high numbers in the workplace, including the professional fields, women are still subject to what many studies call the “leadership gap.” This refers to the fact that even in fields where women make up the majority of workers, leadership positions are overwhelmingly occupied by men. Many theories have been put forth to explain the leadership gap, but none satisfactorily explain why that gap exists even as women earn degrees at higher rates than do men and enter the workforce at higher rates than ever.
