Whether the United States, Canada, Europe, Asia or all other parts of the world, women have been left out in significant numbers from leadership opportunities. But left out does not mean left behind. Women’s leadership gifts, especially women of colour who’ve overcome obstacles daily, have been expanding in the spaces that have welcomed them. Women have not been running to keep up, they have been outpacing men with wisdom, innovation, direction, and values towards diversity and inclusion. My mother taught me that greatness is not deemed; it is generated. I congratulate the Rosenzweig Report for its 16 years of dogged determination to promote and enhance diversity and gender equality in the corporate culture. Good things trickle down from the top.
