  Way to the boardroom
  The  
  way to the boardroom   小荷作文网 www.zww.cn
  With the development of the economy, more  
  and more skillful and creative elites are needed in the society. Women, as a  
  part of this group, have been playing a more and more important role in all the  
  daily works. It seems doubtless that women should weight a large part in this champion  
  group, however, people found that only 11% of Fortune 500 senior executives  
  women. 《Nemko, 730》 It seems like there is an invisible barrier between the  
  female employees and the boardroom. It’s called the glass ceiling. In my point  
  of view, the answer to this question is mainly base on the nature.  
  Why would it be preferred to promote a  
  male? Well, the first reason is really simple: Efficiency. Although females are  
  also hard workers, they are naturally led to care more about their families.  
  Louann Brizendine, as a neuropsychiatrist who studies brain gender differences,  
  claimed that”… women in childbearing years undergo changes that intensify their  
  focus on the viability of offspring. It’s a passing phenomenon, but ill-times  
  for those with career ambitions” 《Brizendine, 36》. This is reasonable since  
  women are often unconsciously taught to take care of their families from  
  childhood, through play house or some other games. Because of the nature, many  
  women choose to accept part-time work or to quit the competition of promotion  
  in efforts to balance the career and their families.  
  Another point is about the stability.  
  While the males become more rational and manful during their education, females  
  are rather fickle and sensitive, this sometimes trouble the business a lot. In  
  Susan M. Kochanowski’s words, “…women’s leadership styles to be more  
  interactive and transformational whereas men’s style has been identified as  
  more directive. “《Kochanowski, 721》.Additionally, the bosses may hesitate  
  whether their female workers are trustworthy and reliable enough or not, while  
  hundreds of thousands of females also hesitate whether they should engage for  
  the shiny boardroom or not. In this case, many females gave up trying. From the  
  employees’ view, a research by Frank Newport and Joy Wike shows that 29% of the  
  male workers prefer a male manager and 18% prefer a female while 40% of the  
  females prefer a male manager and 27% prefer a female. This is a quite  
  conclusive result because it shows that even women themselves prefer male  
  leaders, which means “Yes, both of us think it’s better to have a male leader”。  
  Although this theory has no theoretic support, this mind as a stereotype has  
  been planted deeply in everyone’s’ heart that leaders should be males.  
  Another  
  point is people always price being strict as “good” only when it’s a man, but  
  when it’s a woman, people might just think “she’s a bitch”。 It’s a natural problem  
  that in common sense women always have to be warm and nice to everyone instead  
  of being strict, or even ambitious. Any man-like behaviors are considered to be  
  a “bitch”。 In the article written by Jessica Bennett, Jesse Ellison and Sarah  
  Ball, this phenomenon is clearly stated “Young women hold themselves back,  
  saying, ‘I shouldn’t say this, ask for this, do this-it will make me unlikable,  
  a bitch, or an outcast. ‘” 《Bennett, Ellison, and Ball, 727》. Due to the fear  
  of being negatively criticized, females chose to fall back and act like what  
  “they should be like”。 Although it sounds really sad, it is actually acceptable  
  because no matter males or females would expect their female leaders have  
  motherhood emotion and can provide a rather relaxing working environment, even  
  though people know that the work is real, when they finally face such a woman  
  who always acts like a man it’s doubtless reasonable for them to feel  
  uncomfortable. This is the deadliest point why the glass ceiling exists.  
  Some people may argue that there are many  
  outstanding female elites in the society, and they are doing pretty good job.  
  But just calm down and think, if these minority of the women elites can  
  represent the situation of the whole female group, what about the male elites? What’s  
  more, those who are now considered to be the “elites”, did they work just like  
  the male workers or much more hardworking? Or did they ever suffered from the  
  invisible barrier between them and the boardroom? Yes it’s possible for women to  
  step into the boardroom and start a new life, but freedom is not free. For me,  
  I don’t need to worry about marriage, pregnancy and the following babysitting  
  stuffs. But for women, they do, especially for those who prefer breast feeding.  
  Although it’s legal to ask for a maternity leave, women need times of energy  
  and work to catch up with the same work male workers did. Thus, it’s really not  
  wise to ignore the mission of vitalization and having a warm family.  
  In conclusion, there is actually no glass ceiling  
  at all, it’s just about the nature and gender differences. Women, as a free  
  group of humanity, absolutely can choose their own way of living and working.  
  But it cost a lot for them to work as hard as men, which made more women chose  
  to accept a supporting position in their career and make it a balance.
