Finding Women Candidates - Management and Executive
By Yvonne LaRose - Consultant, Recruit and Retain
Wow! January 2007 entered with a landmark event. For the first time in U.S. history, a woman took the third most powerful office in the country. Although she had 10-years’ experience, maintained a stellar track record of being more than capable of handling executive-level decision making, building alliances, enforcing rules, listening and speaking well, her ability to serve in that office became a question of the day.
If there are women in Congress who are as capable as Pelosi, most certainly there are women in all ranges of business who are equally qualified in education and training, decision making, and so on. The question then becomes one of why there are so few women in these positions.
If we use education as a filtering-in criteria, there is definitely a pool of candidates. Out of the more than 12 million women who have earned a Master’s degree or higher (in 2004), compared with only 7 million of their male counterparts, there are only 16 percent who are in Fortune 500 company C-level positions and merely 15 percent who serve on those boards. The other issue is where these accomplished women can be found because, going by the statistics, they really do exist.
