Canadian companies lag in developing female leaders: study

Canadian companies lag in developing female leaders: study
This Mercer study confirms what women who work in or have worked in the corporate world already know. Women are not wanted in positions of leadership. There's no glass ceiling; it's actually steel. Canada is a country where so many come to flee the inequities of their home country. Where do Canadian women flee to? No clear strategies to develop women in leadership they say. You have seen the articles posted here about how acting like a man will get you in the door. We may have come a long way "baby" (cringe) but make no mistake (a phrase the big boys like to repeat ad nauseum) at the end of the day (double cringe) the bottom line is (cringe, cringe, cringe) we would really like you to know your place and stay there.

If you missed this documentary, it is playing again tonight. Tape it and watch it. It's a real eye-opener. I hope the young women of today find a way to continue to fight for their rights.
