金石堂Together at the Top brings to business leaders—male leaders—a “dollars and cents” rationale and proven reasons to change their attitudes. Our book delivers proof of a virtually universal relationship between the presence of women on boards and in senior management teams and improved corporate performance. And it proposes a series of concrete steps companies can and should take to promote greater gender diversity at each stage of the career ladder.
The authors offer groundbreaking insights into what will motivate companies to hire more women into senior management and appoint them to more board positions. They examine the relationship between the number of women on a board of a company and the number of women on the top management team of that same company, advancing a new method of evaluating the root of gender diversity in a company’s leadership called the Gender Propensity Index©, or GPI©.
Together at the Top discusses how men should respond to these challenges and how men and women can work together to achieve the common goal of running better organizations. They address the importance of measurement and action to realize enhanced performance as a result of a greater representation of women in leadership and how organizations should rid their “plumbing” of bias as a first and most critical step.
