Leadership
The path women take to the CFO seat in large companies
Women remain a minority of finance chiefs, and the routes that produce them are narrower and more measurable than the generic advice suggests.
The current edition
Leadership
Leadership profiles women running teams, companies and organizations: the route to the role, decisions made in it, resistance encountered, and reasons some step away. Coverage includes board representation figures and promotion data. For readers who lead now or intend to, and want candor rather than encouragement.
Profiles of women heading organizations, covering how they reached the role, what they changed, what it cost, and why some of them chose to leave.
Leadership
Sponsorship versus mentorship and why the difference matters for women
Mentors give advice; sponsors spend their own standing, and the research on who gets which explains part of the promotion gap.
Leadership
How women actually get appointed to corporate boards now
Board recruitment runs on networks, disclosure rules and preparation; the process is more open than it looks, and the entry points are specific.
Leadership
What the first 90 days as a new manager should actually cover
The move into management is where women's representation drops first, and a structured first quarter is the practical response.
