Why Are So Many Executive Women Quitting?
We tackle the unsettling trend of women leaders stepping down from Ivy League presidencies amid intense scrutiny. This concerning pattern highlights the persistent gender biases in leadership roles across academia and corporate America. As we dig into statistics from the Chronicle of Higher Education and discuss findings from McKinsey's Women in the Workplace Report, we underscore the need for systemic change.
Work Resorts and Remote CEOs
There are two stories getting heat in the great 'office debate:
- One: Introducing..."work resorts" where office spaces are designed to be aesthetically pleasing and offer additional layers of hospitality to get folks back to the office. Will it work or is this 2024's answer to the ping pong table?
- Two: Starbucks and Victoria's Secret welcomed new CEOs who will also be working 'remotely'. Begging the question about fairness of remote work policies, especially when CEOs work remotely while expecting their employees to adhere to in-office requirements. This disparity can create negative optics and affect employee morale.
