This article gives strong reasons as to why the world needs more women in leadership roles. The article," Women in the Workplace: Why Women Make Great Leaders & How to Retain Them" produced by the Center for Creative Leadership has pointed out that women are looking for a career that has meaning to them, flexibility, and real leadership opportunities. The article states that "more women in a company may also improve your company's performance". Some interesting statistics are given in this article. It has been proven that Fortune 500 companies with a larger representation of women outperform companies with a lesser representation financially. Another interesting statistic is companies with gender-diverse teams have higher sales and profits. Polls show that companies with a larger percentage of women have a better organization and less burnout. This seems to lead to a more enjoyable work environment, better opportunities to make a difference within the company as well as allowing the employees to have a job that fits well with their daily life. Returning to how to retain more women in a leadership role, women are looking for a job that fits well with their personal lives, wants, and goals. Women are applying for careers that meet their "calling". These jobs tend to go hand in hand with their values, purpose, and work-life balance. In a study women were asked to rate the importance of workplace benefits, flexibility concerns were at the top of the list followed by paid time off and healthcare benefits. The article has great information that supports women in leadership roles to understand they are of value to their companies and that their wants and needs are commonly looked for by others in these positions. I believe the information in this article helps support women in these leadership roles. It allows them to better themselves, advance their careers, and benefit the company they work for. It is also relaying the message that not only is it beneficial to the woman but her co-workers as well
