Rebecca Shambaugh, Washington Business Journal, March 3, 2006 http://washington.bizjournals.com/washington/stories/2006/03/06/smallb3.html?page=1
According to Shambaugh, women will be best prepared to take on the challenge of leadership in the coming years. “Every statistic indicates that women are increasingly instrumental in leadership thinking, decision making and power.” She mentions the old “glass ceiling” concept that says society is holding women back, but mentions a new concept, “sticky floor,” which says that women are holding themselves back by “outmoded, self-defeating and, let’s face it, unconscious behaviors.” Read the article to see what Shambaugh says you can do about it!
