Despite the
best-laid plans, good intentions, mentoring and diversity training, the glass
ceiling continues to be an impenetrable barrier for most women
leaders. That is – until now. “Cracking the Code to
the Glass Ceiling” is a white paper just published on our website
based on exciting new research by CDR Assessment Group, Inc. that unlocks the mystery behind the phenomena that frustrates and
blocks droves of aspiring women leaders.
In “Cracking
the Code” we find that undeniable gender perceptions are extremely
damaging. The data we present is compelling and demonstrates how
the toll from these cultural biases is far more devastating than most leaders
think or consider.
However, our
break-through findings go into a completely new research horizon regarding the
glass ceiling. We have found the crux of the problem is that there
are significant inherent personality risk factor differences among men and
women leaders. Under stress, conflict and adversity, we found that
a statistically significant percentage of women leaders slip into “Worrier”
mode. Conversely, their male leader counterparts display “Upstager, Rule
Breaker, and Egotist” behaviors. What this reveals is that women
move away from conflict and tough debates due to fear of failure.
Simultaneously, men push against and fight for resources, airtime, visibility,
and to win the day.
Armed with this exciting research, we
provide insights and solutions as to how to break the glass
ceiling. With my first hand expertise in leadership development
services, psychological and performance assessments, and with my down-to-earth
writing style, I believe you will find this a must read article for global
executives, women and business leaders.
