Study Finds Women Need
Experience in the Business of the Business To Claim Top Leadership Roles
NEW YORK, June 3 /PRNewswire/ --
Seven years after Catalyst's groundbreaking study defining the barriers
and success factors for women in corporate America, Catalyst's new study
"Women in U.S. Corporate Leadership: 2003" finds senior women and CEOs
finally agree women have been in business long enough to climb the
corporate ladder to success. They also agree that a major obstacle for
women is not getting the key business experiences that will allow them
to claim the top positions.
TOP
"In this study, Catalyst found overall that women are satisfied with
their current positions, employers, compensation and other key aspects
of their jobs," said Catalyst President Sheila Wellington. "Women are
not yet claiming the corner office because they are not getting
experience in the business of the business. This is the key that will
unlock the doors for women throughout corporate America."
"Women are still challenged when searching for a mentor," Wellington
continued. "They report feeling excluded from informal networks of
communication and facing stereotypes and preconceptions about their
abilities and commitment."
This new study shows that more than one-half (55 percent) of women who
are not already in the most senior leadership positions desire to be
there and another 19 percent have not ruled it out. CEOs recognize this
ambition. In 2003, only 11 percent of CEOs and eight percent of women
cite a lack of desire to reach senior levels as a top barrier to women's
advancement. TOP
Sponsored by the General Motors Corporation, the study looks at the
experiences and perceptions of women at the Vice President level or
above in Fortune 1000; compares their responses to those of Fortune 1000
CEOs; and contrasts these findings to those in the 1996 study.
Top findings from Women in U.S. Corporate Leadership: 2003 are featured
in the June issue of the Harvard Business Review, "What's Holding Women
Back?"
According to the study, women in 2003 and women in 1996 cite the same
barriers to women's advancement to senior leadership levels: lack of
general management or line experience: exclusion from informal networks;
and stereotyping and preconceptions of women's roles and abilities. CEOs
and women agree that in order to move forward senior leaders need to
assume accountability for women's advancement.
Some of these measures for leaders should include acting as a role
model; demonstrating continuous commitment to inclusion by action;
giving women high-visibility, high-impact career opportunities, and
supporting them in those assignments.
Catalyst research also found that overall women and CEOs agree a lack of
profit and loss experiences is the biggest barrier to preventing women
from rising to the top of corporations. Interestingly, however, the two
disagree when it comes to how women get to the top.
CEOs remain much more likely than women to point out the need for
certain types of managerial experiences. In addition to getting specific
skills, women know they need to adapt and be included in informal
networking. If women and CEOs can better understand both aspects then a
greater opportunity exists for accelerating the rise of senior-level
women working within the Fortune 1000.
