SXSW 2019

We Aren't Feminists, We're Capitalists

Description:

The bottom line is, gender equality in corporate leadership helps the bottom line. For more than 20 years, top research firms such as Accenture, PwC, Bain & Co., McKinsey & Co. and more have conducted studies revealing that gender equality and diversity in corporate leadership is simply good business. Everyone profits from a more inclusive work environment. The most progressive leaders build strong cultures and focus on their fiduciary obligation to their investors and shareholders to make their companies as profitable as possible. This is why we’re not feminists, we’re capitalists. When our corporations implement workable systems to overcome unconscious bias, we move toward more inclusive, fair and better pipelines of new potential leaders. And better leaders deliver better bottom lines.
