Women Leadership: Finding A Path To The Top With Jenna Fisher

Are you ready for a scary statistic? Only 9% of women are female CEOs of the biggest companies on the S&P 500. That is 45 spots out of 500, folks. But let’s be positive. It’s up from August 2018, when there were only 24 women in the CEO spot. The question is, WHY? Why aren’t more women in that top spot? And if they go there, why aren’t they sticking?Jenna Fisher, my guest today, decided to find out how we as women can find a path to the top. She interviewed top female executives at Nike, Visa, IBM, Salesforce, Atlantic Records, just to name a few, to find out.During our discussion, Jenna and I talked about:Why she decided to write her book, To the Top: How Women in Corporate Leadership are Rewriting the Rules for Success?What key themes popped out when she interviewed these female executives?Jenna’s perspective on how COVID changed the game for working women and what we need in our workplaces to flourish now and in the future.We discussed the thought of “having it all”? Is it really possible?What leaving loud means for women? I loved this part of our conversation.And how compassionate command is the new name of the game for both male and female leaders.
