Research has shown that companies with more women in senior positions are more profitable, more socially responsible, and provide safer, higher-quality customer experiences. New research published in Harvard Business Review gives some clues as to why. First, women encourage more openness to change and simultaneously less risk taking. Second, women shift the focus from knowledge-buying to knowledge-building. It seems women may be better at developing strategies and building capacities for long-term value creation, rather than the get-rich-quick thinking that still dominates the male boardrooms of today. Diversity is smart – and right.
