Top management roles at multinational corporations in Asia are typically held by Westerners. But not just any type of Westerner-regional directors and CEOs are also predominantly men.
There are "some big challenges" in Asia when it comes to women’s efforts to break through the glass ceiling, said Nick Marsh of executive-search firm Harvey Nash. Whereas in the States and Europe there are board development programs, they were not prevalent in Asia. In Hong Kong, just 2% of CEOs are women, according to McKinsey & Company’s Women Matter report.
The leadership trend mirrors the reality across the region more broadly
, where women in Asia occupy just 1.1% of CEO, CFO, country head and related positions, according to a 2012 Catalyst study.
"Women in the workforce have challenges that are different from men," said Sylvia Lee, who heads Oracle Hong Kong. This has often resulted in women leaving the workforce midway through their career. We need to recognize that, and provide a good support network for them to encourage and motivate each other. Women lacking confidence in their leadership ability may also be a driving factor in the gender disparity. "Women do not put themselves forward at the same rate, and may exclude themselves from opportunities if they don’t think they have 100% of the skills required," said Mr. Marsh, "whereas men may be more likely to put themselves forward if they think they’ve got at least 50% of the skills."
Even at multinational corporations, the progress of women in senior leadership roles can be likened to an hourglass, said Mr. Marsh. You see a better pool of people at the top but it really
thins out
a level or two down from the CEO or board of directors. Women make up a large number of entry-level positions, but often see waning representation at management levels. Top executives will have to recognize that a more balanced management team could help drive success in business, said Mr. Marsh.
Brad Adams, human resources research director at advisory firm CEB, said many top companies are looking beyond the notion of diversity to the concept of "inclusion management," which emphasizes broad thinking, openness to new ideas, deeper understanding of customers or supply chains, and the diversity of markets. But ending the gender disparity will require conscious effort.
By saying "the leadership trend mirrors the reality across the region more broadly"- in Paragraph 2, the author wants to convey the message that______.
选项
A、the leadership trend is popular
B、the number of women CEOs in many regions is small
C、the women CEOs can’t be widely accepted
D、the leadership trend reflects gender disparity
答案
B
解析
细节题。根据题干关键词定位到第二段。该段主要在讲述女性在事业发展中占据劣势地位,尤其是亚洲女性,位居高管者寥寥无几。本段最后一句意为“这种领导者构成趋势更广泛地反映了亚洲地区的现实。非营利组织Catalyst 2012年进行的研究结果显示,在亚洲的行政总裁、财务总监和国家元首等相关职位中,女性占比仅为1.1%”。由此可知,B项“女性CEO在许多地区仅占少数”符合题意,为正确答案。
