Recording: Women at the Top: Esmeralda Kleinreesink (Royal Air Force)
According to statistics from the Dutch Female Board index, 48% of stock market listed companies have one or more women on their board. Women at the top are gaining ground. Has the glass ceiling finally been shattered? Or are we still facing an uphill struggle? As Sheryl Sandberg, an American businesswoman and chief operating officer of Facebook, suggests in her book: “Stop complaining, just put in more effort”. An interesting statement that should make for a lively debate.
