Book synopsis:

More than fifty trailblazing executive women who broke the corporate glass ceiling offer inspiring and surprising insights and lessons in this essential, in-the-trenches career guide from Joann S. Lublin, a Pulitzer-Prize winning journalist and management news editor for The Wall Street Journal. Among the first female reporters at The Wall Street Journal, Joann S. Lublin faced a number of uphill battles in her career. She became deputy bureau chief of the WSJ’s important London bureau, its first run by women. Now, she and dozens of other women who successfully navigated the corporate battlefield share their valuable leadership lessons. Lublin combines her fascinating story with insightful tales from more than fifty women who reached the highest rungs of the corporate ladder—most of whom became chief executives of public companies —in industries as diverse as retailing, manufacturing, finance, high technology, publishing, advertising, automobiles, and pharmaceuticals. Leaders like Carly Fiorina, former CEO of Hewlett-Packard, as well as Mary Barra, CEO of General Motors, and Brenda Barnes, former CEO of Sara Lee, were the first women to run their huge employers. Earning It reveals obstacles such women faced as they fought to make their mark, choices they made, and battles they won—and lost. Lublin chronicles the major milestones and dilemmas of the work world unique to women, providing candid advice and practical inspiration for women of all ages and at every stage of their careers. The extraordinary women we meet in the pages of Earning It and the hard-won lessons they share provide a compelling career compass that will help all women reach their highest potential without losing a meaningful personal life.

Event Synopsis

Sponsored by BMO Financial Group

“Meritocracy: From Myth to Reality” explores and suggests a tension that exists in corporate and investment communities: we believe that we operate in a meritocracy, but the evidence increasingly suggests that we do not. Instead, our systems for evaluating people and investments are skewed in unintended ways. Our frames of reference and procedures contain implicit biases that devalue women’s contributions and reinforce the privileges of dominant groups. Surprisingly, research shows that the belief in meritocracy may get in the way of actual meritocracy because it gives evaluators permission not to watch out for bias. The presentation will also identify a set of practical actions any organization can take to move towards a true meritocracy. Following Sarah Kaplan’s presentation, she will be joined in conversation with Sonya Kunkel, Chief Diversity Officer & VP, Talent Strategies of BMO Financial Group to discuss BMO’s experience and journey in minimizing cultural blind spots through inclusive leadership. Sarah Kaplan & Sonya Kunkel’s conversation will explore how large organizations can move towards a true meritocracy as the title suggests.

On November 16, 2016, we convened research scholars in our first annual research roundtable to discuss the latest findings on gender and the economy. The event included a keynote address from Professor Julie Nelson, University of Massachusetts, Boston, on “‘Essential Natures’?: The Invention of Risk-Averse Women and Bottom-Line Companies,” an idea blitz of work in progress and a scholarly debate on the value of quotas.

“Essential Natures”?: The Invention of Risk-Averse Women and Bottom-Line Companies

Julie Nelson, Professor of Economics, University of Massachusetts, Boston

See video clips of her talk here and here.

Idea blitz: research presentations from Rotman researchers on:

Women on corporate boards
Preventing sexual assault
Innovation acceleration
Socio-economic background and mentoring
Gender and organizational networks
Occupational stereotypes

Oxford-style debate on the proposition: Quotas are an important and useful tool for achieving gender equality in organizations

See a summary of the debate here in our latest research brief.

Event Synopsis:

Feminism has hit the big time. Once a dirty word brushed away with a grimace, “feminist” has been rebranded as a shiny label sported by movie and pop stars, fashion designers, and multi-hyphenate powerhouses like Beyoncé. It drives advertising and marketing campaigns for everything from wireless plans to underwear to perfume, presenting what’s long been a movement for social justice as just another consumer choice in a vast market. Individual self-actualization is the goal, shopping more often than not the means, and celebrities the mouthpieces.

But what does it mean when social change becomes a brand identity?

Feminism’s splashy arrival at the center of today’s media and pop-culture marketplace, after all, hasn’t offered solutions to the movement’s unfinished business. Planned Parenthood is under sustained attack, women are still paid 77 percent—or less—of the man’s dollar, and vicious attacks on women, both on- and offline, are utterly routine.

Andi Zeisler, a founding editor of Bitch Media, draws on more than twenty years’ experience interpreting popular culture in this biting history of how feminism has been co-opted, watered down, and turned into a gyratory media trend. Surveying movies, television, advertising, fashion, and more, Zeisler reveals a media landscape brimming with the language of empowerment but offering little in the way of transformational change. Witty, fearless, and unflinching, We Were Feminists Once is the story of how we let this happen, and how we can amplify feminism’s real purpose and power.[/fusion_text][fusion_separator style_type=”none” hide_on_mobile=”small-visibility,medium-visibility,large-visibility” class=”” id=”” sep_color=”” top_margin=”50″ bottom_margin=”50″ border_size=”” icon=”” icon_circle=”” icon_circle_color=”” width=”” alignment=”center” /][fusion_button link=”https://www.gendereconomy.org/events/” text_transform=”” title=”” target=”_blank” link_attributes=”” alignment=”” modal=”” hide_on_mobile=”small-visibility,medium-visibility,large-visibility” class=”” id=”” color=”custom” button_gradient_top_color=”#62bd19″ button_gradient_bottom_color=”#62bd19″ button_gradient_top_color_hover=”#00c2e2″ button_gradient_bottom_color_hover=”#00c2e2″ accent_color=”” accent_hover_color=”” type=”” bevel_color=”” size=”” stretch=”yes” icon=”” icon_position=”left” icon_divider=”no” animation_type=”” animation_direction=”left” animation_speed=”0.3″ animation_offset=””]See more past events[/fusion_button][fusion_separator style_type=”none” hide_on_mobile=”small-visibility,medium-visibility,large-visibility” class=”” id=”” sep_color=”” top_margin=”20″ bottom_margin=”20″ border_size=”” icon=”” icon_circle=”” icon_circle_color=”” width=”” alignment=”center” /][fusion_title margin_top=”” margin_bottom=”” hide_on_mobile=”medium-visibility,large-visibility” class=”” id=”” size=”5″ content_align=”center” style_type=”default” sep_color=””]

Sarah Kaplan, Professor of Strategic Management. Rotman School of Management; Sue Meirs, COO – Funds Structured Market Sales, Barclays (New York) & Jackie VanderBrug, Senior Vice-President and Investment Strategist, US Trust Bank of America (Boston) spoke together on January 29, 2015 on Investing with a Gender Lens

Event Synopsis

Investing with a gender lens can create financial and social impact by increasing women’s access to capital, promoting workplace equity, and creating products and services that improve the lives of women and girls. Sarah Kaplan and Jackie VanderBrug co-wrote an article titled “The Rise of Gender Capitalism” for the Fall 2014 issue of Stanford Social Innovation Review. Barclays PLC is capitalizing on investor interest in women in leadership roles with a new product that will follow the performance of major U.S. companies with female CEOs or directors. Barclays created an index of 85 companies that either have female CEOs or have at least 25-per-cent female directors on the board. It issues Barclays Women in Leadership exchange-traded notes to track the index. The notes trade on the NYSE Arca Exchange.
