Busting the Myths
![Page 19: Bridging the Gender Gap – a New Approach to Shattering the Glass Ceiling](https://reader034.vdocuments.site/reader034/viewer/2022051322/5452dfa2af7959ed5f8b8978/html5/thumbnails/19.jpg)
Myth #1
Having women in top leadership positions is a “nice to have,” or the right thing to do. It doesn’t really affect the success of the business.
![Page 20: Bridging the Gender Gap – a New Approach to Shattering the Glass Ceiling](https://reader034.vdocuments.site/reader034/viewer/2022051322/5452dfa2af7959ed5f8b8978/html5/thumbnails/20.jpg)
Myth #2
The younger generation of men is more supportive of the idea of working with women executives in top positions, so it is just a matter of time before women are better represented at the senior levels of management.
![Page 21: Bridging the Gender Gap – a New Approach to Shattering the Glass Ceiling](https://reader034.vdocuments.site/reader034/viewer/2022051322/5452dfa2af7959ed5f8b8978/html5/thumbnails/21.jpg)
Myth #3
Employees reject a typically “feminine,” collaborative leadership style, finding it weak and not compelling.
![Page 22: Bridging the Gender Gap – a New Approach to Shattering the Glass Ceiling](https://reader034.vdocuments.site/reader034/viewer/2022051322/5452dfa2af7959ed5f8b8978/html5/thumbnails/22.jpg)
Myth #4
Women aren’t in top roles because they are less ambitious than men.
![Page 23: Bridging the Gender Gap – a New Approach to Shattering the Glass Ceiling](https://reader034.vdocuments.site/reader034/viewer/2022051322/5452dfa2af7959ed5f8b8978/html5/thumbnails/23.jpg)
Myth #5
If we train women in specific leadership skills, inevitably, they will rise to the top.

Culture is the collective sense of the way things get done in an organization . . . What is expected, and what is rewarded.
It is conveyed in values in action, in symbols, in stories,and in whom is held up as heroes.
Selectively creating new stories and new heroes, and spreading the word is the work of culture change.
