Senior Female leaders and their challenges

In recent years, there has been a growing recognition on the value of having women in significant roles at corporate companies.

However, despite progress being made, there are still some significant challenges that particularly women in such positions face.

One of the primary challenges is the issue of balancing work and personal life.

Women in top positions often face pressure to devote “sufficient amounts of time and energy”  to their jobs. The latter is to the view of many male colleagues.

The traditional view of the ideal manager is a representative who’s available round the clock. Although the later may be in decline, this view is still very much present within a lot of corporates.

This can make it difficult to find a healthy work-life balance, particularly when it comes down to raising a family. Such a balance is deemed as very important, especially by women.

Given the fact that many companies still have ways to go, it may be a challenging topic to address.

What to say, and what not to say? Does the company culture seem ready for an open minded approach? Or rather follow a more careful path, thus avoiding the risk of what is known among female professionals as “the glass ceiling” ?

Particularly for women reflections bring all that is related to the topic surface, and many women feel as such deeply challenged.
