Additional Research Notes From Kathryn:
Companies with above-average gender and racial/ethnic diversity in leadership roles are eight times more likely to be in the top 10% of organizations for financial performance: DDI
Women given team sizes that are 25% smaller as first-level managers and 40% smaller once they reach Executive levels. Original research here; as explained in WSJ here.
Women do 200 hours of non-promotable tasks at work every year: HBR article here; full book here (deep dive on the consulting study - where senior partners who are women work an additional 200 hours every year to compensate for the NPTs they are asked to do and thus this is a leading factor in burnout is on page 47).
Women 13% less likely to be promoted to manager, which is where the talent pipeline is currently getting squeezed (what is leading to lack of women in leadership): McKinsey report
Also – The New York Times published an article right after we recorded our episode. In an attempt to bolster its economy, Japan introduced a "womenomics" approach to get more women into the work force. They expected 800K more women and got 3M - evidence of a) the completely underutilized talent pool sitting here and b) the positive impact of female talent to grow the economy. Article here.
