We already know that gender balanced senior teams are not only better for business, the economy and society, but also crucial to women’s continuing success in the workplace. The visibility of women at the top demonstrates to other women that it is possible for them to get there too. For this reason, senior women are often presented as role models to inspire others to follow in their footsteps.
Having said this, I believe it is important to recognise that role models and visibility are not one and the same. Role models tend to be more personal, while visibility has a more widespread effect when it comes to changing working culture. It isn’t fair to put the pressure of being a perfect role model on the women who have made it to the top of their field. Most female employees are more inspired by realistic, relatable and attainable traits—not just seniority. When women are asked to describe their ideal role model, they often reveal a wide variety of sought-after characteristics, traits and behaviours. From being decisive, intelligent and confident to warm, approachable and inclusive, what makes an ideal role model is often personal and might change over time.
We must work instead to normalise gender-balanced leadership, shifting away from the preoccupation with role models. Once we achieve this, the gender of role models becomes redundant anyway: we will simply see them all around. The visible balance of power between women and men sends a clear message to women and girls of all ages that they can climb the career ladder too.
This visibility of women in traditionally male-dominated roles and industries cannot be underestimated. This is beautifully illustrated by photographer Leonora Saunders in her series "10%. . . and rising" , which challenges preconceptions of what women can or can’t do in the world of work. Once girls and boys see people like themselves employed in all industries, their choices in life will be much greater— and employers will benefit from their capability and talent, not their gender.
We need to focus increasingly on visible, balanced leadership at the highest levels of business. This is not to say that senior level women can’t be role models to other women in their organisation, but that true role models should be found at all levels, in line managers or even junior staff.
Perhaps in time, when it becomes normal to see as many women as men in senior roles, the search for role models will be less about gender and will simply

选项
A、have the confidence and determination to make it to the top in the business world
B、accept the system under which there are more male role models than female ones
C、find it unnecessary to present particular individuals as positive role models
D、care less about whether women are outnumbered by men in impacting the world
答案
D
解析
细节题。答案可定位到第三段第二句Once we achieve this(gender-balanced leadership),the gender of role models becomes redundant anyway:we will simply see them all around倘若男性和女性之间能实现权力平衡,这就会鼓舞各年龄层的女性不断进步、出类拔萃。这正好是选项[D]的意思“人们不会太在乎是更多男性还是女性在影响着这个世界”。该选项中的短语be outnumbered by是“数量上被……超出”的意思。选项[A]“人们有信心和决心成为商界的领年人物”。选项[B]“接受男性榜样多于女生榜样的一种体制”,原文未提及。选项[C]“认为没有必要将特定个体树立为正面的榜样”,与作者的观点相反。
