67. Suneera Madhani on the Leadership Gender Gap in the Workforce, Action Steps to Begin Creating Change, and the Importance of Raising Wome
In this week's Wine Down Wednesday, Suneera discusses a reality near and dear to Suneera’s heart; the leadership gap that exists in corporations everywhere in America today. Suneera shares statistics showing that while women are more educated than men, we not only earn less, we actually hold less positions of leadership in almost every industry. You'll hear several ways we can positively improve statistics for women, and why we need to put focus on not only raising up women in general, but understanding there's also a major inequality gap when it comes to minority women. Suneera explains the value of having equality in corporations, and how it creates a natural balance, encourages ideas, viewpoints, and strategies.
