The ‘queen bee’ myth

There are still so few women in positions of power that perpetuate gendered stereotypes about what makes a good leader.

Experts agree that having more women at the top would help change long-held assumptions about what makes a good leader.One simple but telling statistic is:Male CEOs outnumber female CEOs by about 10 to 1 in the UK’s FTSE 100 index of the largest publicly traded companies.

The proportion is even worse in the US Fortune 500.
