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
celebrate
good leadership—whatever that may look like.
" 10% and rising" most probably______.
选项
A、shows photos of successful women in agriculture
B、writes stories about important women in industry
C、publishes findings on the improvement of sexual equality
D、showcases excellent women in a wide range of occupations
答案
D
解析
细节题。答案可定位到第四段第一、二句This visibility of women in traditionally male-dominated roles and industries…is beautifully illustrated…which challenges preconceptions of what women can or can’t do in the world of work。由此可以推断出[D]为正确选项,即“该系列丛书展示了各行各业的杰出女性”。[A]“农业领域中成功女性的照片”和[B]“工业领域里的重要女性人物”均过于偏狭片面。[C]“发表了关于改善性别平等的研究结果”,文中没有提及。
