Summary

It’s time to move beyond the “think manager, think male” mindset that penalizes women on their way up and atop the corporate ladder. Despite making up more than half of the workforce, only 25% of B2B tech sales executives and 12% of sales leaders are women. Although institutional biases have created roadblocks, female leaders can take steps to develop their own personal leadership styles. Learn more about developing your personal leadership style by catching up with Mary on LinkedIn or Twitter; requesting an inquiry with Forrester; and reading our additional stories on gender-related confidence issues, leadership representation, and pay gaps.
