Women's Room. A Better Board Room


 "I didn't learn to be quiet when I had an option. The reason they know who I was, is because I told them" said Ursula Burns, Chairman and CEO at Xerox. With centuries of constant fights for equal rights for women; the world has gradually started to understand the seriousness of a  patriarchal driven society. While some crossbred human-like figures still find it challenging to imply the straight-forward truth in the simplest forms, some continue to praise the gender and motivate them in reaching new heights. 

In 'Women In a Boardroom' a study by Deloitte - a board member recruitment consultants in 2018, figures showed nearly 17% of women made into the board of directors of a company. This might be a lesser wanted situation, but the number was down to less than 3% two years back when scrolling through the past. Organizations are experiencing changes; the current generation has a more intense effect than pre-existing directors' old school mindset. 


There is no paucity of inspiring women who have become a role model for millions of eager women entrepreneurs worldwide. Women in leadership positions are hardly seen as an anomaly, yet the male-dominated boardroom still lacks the advocated and expected diversity.


An organization's integrity to look above and beyond the factors of discrimination of genders opens up routes to diversity and goals for the company. While doing so, companies can perceive the pool of talent that exists; including who will create a sense of healthy competition in the corporate society and indirectly contribute to organizational growth. The collaborative exchange of ideas, viewpoints, problem-solving skills and market analysis can mutually benefit employees towards a common goal. 


The hard edge of an emotional understanding and balance of women contributes to developing an emotional intelligence which further accords better shareholder management and directs the employees more effectively. Extramarks on their understanding of the subject, competitive IQ, adaptability nature and social responsibility, they just come better than men in many areas. 


The inclusion of women on boards needs to hit a certain critical mass to have a real impact. The main aim for organizations should be to provide more female representation on their boards and ensure that it is a step towards gender diversity. To this end, the industry as a whole needs to take meaningful actions. The legislation does have a role to play, but it is just part of the equation.
