Gender diversity: McKinsey Global Survey results

February 16, 2014

If you are interested in the topic of gender diversity (In this case, that means women in leadership roles), you will likely want to read the results of McKinsey’s global survey regarding gender diversity.  (The article includes a link to the entire report.)

To me, the most notable finding is the disparity between the perceptions of women and men.  The study notes:  “At all levels, the views on leadership ability diverge by gender.”

As an example, see below:  (Please note: this chart includes responses only from those who agree that women can lead as effectively as men.  It is unfortunate that the chart below does not include responses from those who do not agree that women can lead as effectively as men.)
