I was asked recently if I had ever had a Woman for a Boss.
My answer was that I had worked with many Women but never directly reported to one.
You know I am going to say “it set me thinking” don’t you!
It’s true that I have worked for some very talented Men but when I thought about it, I realised how gifted Women are too.
In fact I feel bold enough to say that a talented Woman is as good as any Man and often, more so.
Boards of Directors are always better balanced when a Woman is Involved and it’s true that they add huge quality to discussions and outcomes.
Most certainly, there is not enough credit given to Women in the workplace.
Many Men, for some unfathomable reason, take the view that they could NEVER work for a Woman.
It’s just proof that “prehistoric” Man still roams the Earth!
My conclusion is that I never had the privilege.
I can predict one thing for sure though.
On merit more Women will fill senior roles in business and I have a sneaking feeling we will be better off for it.
For those Men who don’t welcome such an Idea...get used to it Boys because cream always rises!
Its possible one day that Men will insist on equal pay to Women because they are being unfairly treated.
Life is such an irony don’t you think?
