Abstract

About a decade ago, one could count the number of female CEOs of Fortune 500 companies on one hand. By 2010, it took two hands and a foot ( Fortune , 2010). Despite this modest growth in women in top business leadership positions, women have made meaningful advancements in other leadership positions. The percent of managerial posts in the United States occupied by women ha grown from less than 14 percent in the 1950s to almost 51 percent by the year 2007 (Catalyst, 2008). Over 40 percent of the global workforce are women, and in more developed countries (Europe, North America, Australia/New Zealand, and Japan), women make up 46 percent of the workforce (LABORSTA, 2009).
