The Other Half: Creating Gender-Balanced Teams for Sustainable Success

Description: We live in a world that is unequal by nature. One could even say that its diversity is essential to all the world's survival. However, inequality among human beings is one of society's biggest problems. This book is about opportunities. It is about being at the forefront of a paradigm change and a win-win situation. And it is about leading one of the most compelling and exciting shifts in our society: women's empowerment. Company leaders are used to dealing with radical changes in markets, but there is a story that corporations all over the globe have chosen to ignore. This story is the sum total of millions of lost opportunities, because over half the potential workforce was left behind. Although half the population is made up of women, only 50% of them can earn a decent living. The Other Halfsets out to change just that.
