“Women’s representation in leadership and leadership roles, especially on corporate boards, matters a great deal. Research shows that the presence of three or more women on boards is positively correlated with stronger organizational health; better decision making, corporate governance, and financial performance; greater diversity of thought; a closer match between companies and customers; and a broader base of leadership and talent. Increasing the number and percentage of women on corporate boards is not only equitable; it is also an effective approach to strengthen companies and national economies, by enabling them to tap into the best available people across entire talent pools.”
