Although women's representation in the overall workforce has increased gradually over the past few years, yet a lot of ground remains to be covered. Women remain to be grossly under-represented in leadership roles. Globally, women form less than one third of all leadership roles. Although women in EMEA and LATAM constitute more than 40 percent of all entry level positions, yet their numbers dwindle as they move up the seniority ladder. The highest numbers of women in leadership come from France (34%) and Sweden (37%). On the contrary, United Arab Emirates (20%), Germany (23%) and the Netherlands (26%) are lagging behind the average.It still remains exasperating to see women being underrepresented in leadership positions even after witnessing the stark benefits of having more women leader. We are however hopeful that the global corporate world will course correct and welcome more women in leadership roles. Till then it is imperative that we highlight the success stories of women leaders who have successfully overcome the gender hurdle at work.
