Why?

Why am I reading yet another article telling me it is good business to have women in senior positions as well as fair! I have to say it exasperates me when I look at the management of the companies I work with – they are all men. The argument I get when I query this is the old “we cannot find women for senior positions” has worn thin.

Half of The National Australia Bank leadership are women; they have a programme of hiring 200 bankers this year, setting themselves a goal of 50-50 women and they say there’s no shortage of women! The talent exists but for most men, and companies, it doesn't make it on to their radar. Extraordinary!
