Damn You Auto Correct!

Como me ha hecho reir esta mierda por dios,

Respetando las Decisiones de la Minas

Por un enfoque menos coercitivo en favor de las mujeres,

WOMEN are half the population but only 15% of board members at big American firms, and 10% in Europe.

[...] There is also evidence that mixed boards make better decisions than monolithically male ones do. When a board includes a variety of viewpoints and attitudes, the boss’s bad ideas are more likely to be challenged.

[...] sexism and the lack of role models are no longer the main obstacle to women’s careers. Children are. Most women take career breaks to look after them. Many care for elderly relatives, too. One study found that two-thirds of American women had at some point switched from full-time work to part-time or flexible time to balance work and family. Such choices should be respected.

[...] big companies are increasingly global. Many want a boss who has worked in more than one country. Such foreign postings disrupt families; many women turn them down. Many also prefer not to prolong their working day by networking after hours.

[...] Quotas are too blunt a tool for such a tangled problem. The women companies are compelled to put on boards are unlikely to be as useful as those they place there voluntarily. Quotas force firms either to pad their boards with token non-executive directors, or to allocate real power on the basis of sex rather than merit. Neither is good for corporate governance.
