It has been said time and time again that women have come a long way.
In business we now consider this to be fact, according to Glenn Llopis, author of
Earning Serendipity.
Nearly 51 percent of women are in managerial or professional occupations, according to Catalyst (2008).
More women are obtaining MBAs than ever before in history and the landscape of Corporate America has changed drastically.
Yet, although major strides have been made by women in every industry - there are only 28 female CEOs in the Fortune 1000 companies (Catalyst, 2009).
According to Llopis, companies are more inclined, than ever before, to promote women knowing the benefits and profitability that entails.
In a recent study by Pepperdine University women in top positions reported beating the industry average in terms of productivity and profitability.
It is clear, says Llopis, that women unequivocally are reshaping the landscape of business.
"After decades of misrepresentation and isolation, it is becoming evident that women are in the process of redefining themselves both in and outside of the workplace."
This reinvention process, if guided properly, can allow women to lead the transformation of our economy and society at large.
Women are born entrepreneurs. They have the ability to see what others don’t, do what others won’t and keep pushing (their ideas / ideals) when prudence says quit.
Women inherently have the ability to
see, sow, grow and share opportunities – earn serendipity, says Llopis.
