What does all this mean to female managers?
- Women often have better management skills than men
- Women's leadership style is often more motivating and inspirational
- However, women contribute to their own inability to break through the glass ceiling in subtle ways stemming from both personality attributes and learned management styles
Self-awareness, combined with focused mentoring and coaching, can help women to push through the glass ceiling.
Further progress up the corporate ladder will require women to:
- Start taking risks, focusing their energy, and letting go of the details
- Continue to communicate, develop and motivate staff, and lead by example
- Stop getting mired in the details, rescuing and mothering, and wearing their hearts on their sleeves
