I talked to a company president today about why he didn't have women in his key positions. Not only did he not know why, but he did not even realize that he didn't. I told him it was a basic prejudice that women could not perform. And I asked him, corporate-wide, what was the percentage of women in the sales force? His answer was very low and embarassing to even him. So I keep asking why?
We are half of the population. Why aren't we half of every corporation? Why don't men assume that we have more to offer than they do? Or at least the same?
It is an uphill battle that women fight because of the assumptions that precede us.
Today, I was told by three men that I was the best, best in class, best in training and best in performance.
If I was a guy, I'd be out on the golf course.
I guess my point to this blog is so our daughters have a better chance at equal opportunity, equal treatment and equal pay in the workforce.
