NEWS AND INSIGHTS UPDATE:
While women in business have certainly made progress in 2013, the challenges women face in business are far from over.
Jill Flynn, Kathryn Heath, and Mary Davis Holt of Flynn Heath Holt Leadership (FHHL) put together a list of the 6 paradoxes women leaders will face in 2013. They explain that these paradoxes are the mixed messages that continue to impede progress for women in business:
“These paradoxes are important to address for a great many reasons — fairness being the most obvious. But even beyond creating a fair and just system that allows more women into the leadership pipeline, the practical problem created by mixed messages is that it robs women of confidence and squashes their desire to jump into the fray and become leaders. The world needs the best qualified women to step up to the plate, and women need to be able to weave their way through these most difficult of challenges.”
Their list of six paradoxes women leaders will face in 2013 (and beyond) includes:
- The Pay Paradox
- The Double-Blind Paradox
- The Promotion Paradox
- The Network Paradox
- The Start Up Paradox
- The Careful-What-You-Wish-For Paradox
It’s quite possible that you’ll face one or more of these paradoxes in 2013. You can get all of the details about each of them as well as some tips to navigate through them by following the link below.
