WeAce, a platform that is in the business of making workplaces more productive, progressive, and gender balanced, recently, ran a blogathon for women along with Women’s Web. The topic: She-E-O’s: Do Women At the top Elevate Everyone – including men?
We had a deluge of entries, and the top 20 have been featured on the WeAce blog.
Let’s look at the 9 entries (in alphabetical order) that speak of women’s leadership at work, either as bosses or even CEOs, and how that can change the game for everyone, even men.
The notion that women in leadership positions can elevate everyone, including men, is grounded in several critical advantages that diversity brings to the professional workspace. First and foremost, gender diversity contributes to a broader spectrum of ideas and perspectives. It allows for a more comprehensive approach to problem-solving and decision-making, thus promoting innovation. When both women and men are engaged in leadership roles, they can harness their distinct experiences and viewpoints to arrive at more creative solutions

Historically, leadership roles were often reserved for men. However, women have always excelled in making important decisions, especially within households. In recent times, female CEOs have challenged these stereotypes, proving that leadership is not confined by gender. Men, inspired by these trailblazing women, are encouraged to question their own biases about traditional gender roles. This shift in attitude benefits society by tearing down barriers and promoting equality in all aspects of life.
Having a female CEO can significantly impact an organization’s culture and values. Female leaders often promote transparency, trust, and engagement within the workforce, creating an environment where employees feel valued and empowered.
She was very kind. She was close to her retirement so perhaps, this allowed her to come out or maybe she sensed a genuine moment to connect – I don’t know but the conversation flowed. She said, “Kanchan, look, I got the seat at the table. But, I hardly had any voice, any decision making in the start. I worked hard on various aspects – knowledge, leadership skills, communication skills, etc. and I gathered my voice but this was not working either.”
According to the latest report from Mckinsey in partnership with Leanln.Org, Women are more ambitious than ever, and workplace flexibility is fueling them. 2023 studies reveal some hard-fought gains at top, with women’s representation in the C- suite at the highest it has ever been. It has surveyed 27000 employees and 270 Senior HR leaders from 276 organizations employing more than 10 million people. The survey debunks 4 myths about women’s workplace experience and career advancements.
SS handled conflicts in the team with finesse. I’ve seen some managers dismissing problems between resources callously. However, unlike them, SS was determined to make sure any hostility was nipped in the bud.
According to research and a report by Forbes, CEO’s with traits like compassion and integrity earn 9.35% return on assets. Research proves that female leaders use more transformational leadership methods to help the entire organization grow. They create the wave of inspiration and work on what is good for the company when compared to men. This leadership was the catalyst to create a new style of management which was more open, vulnerable and more aligned with reality.
A 2016 Harvard Business Review study shows that a shift in the share of women in C-suite positions from 0 to 30% results in a 1% increase in net margin, which is a 15% increase in profitability for a typical firm1. A different study by S&P Global in 2019 found that female CEOs found a 20% increase in stock price momentum in the two years following their appointment2. Several similar studies support that companies with more gender diversity on their executive boards are more profitable than those without.
Now, here’s where it gets spicy. When women climb the corporate ladder, they also break down gender stereotypes. Men, freed from the expectation of having to be the “alpha” all the time, can explore roles and skills traditionally considered ‘feminine.’

UP Boards Topper Prachi Nigam was trolled on social media for her facial hair; our obsession with appearance is harsh on young minds.
Prachi Nigam’s photo has been doing the rounds on social media for the right reasons. Well, scratch that- I wish the above statement were true. This 15-year-old girl should ideally be revelling in her spectacular achievement of scoring a whopping 98.05% and topping her tenth-grade boards. But oddly enough, along with her marks, it’s something else that garners more attention – her facial hair.
While the trolls are driving themselves giddy by mocking this girl who hasn’t even completed her school yet, the ones who are taking her side are going one step ahead – they are sharing her photoshopped pictures, sans the facial hair, looking nothing less than a celebrity with captions saying – “Prachi Nigam, ten years later”.
Doctors have already diagnosed her with PCOD in their comments, based on photographic evidence. While we have names for people shamed for their weight – body shaming, for their skin colour- racism, for their age- age shaming, for being a female- sexism, this category of shaming where one faces criticism for their appearance has no name. With that, it also has zero shame attached to it.
