Prediction: Half of Fortune 500 CEOs will be women before 2030
In the digital age, leaders must excel at managing their ego, thinking and emotions, their emotional intelligence and their otherness — the ability to connect, engage and relate emotionally with others in positive ways. Women may be more naturally positioned to do so.
Based on my experience, men can achieve the high levels of interpersonal emotional competencies if they are truly committed to changing their mindsets and behaviors and willing to invest the time every day to transform themselves. Many women, on the other hand, will not have to transform themselves; they will just need to be more of themselves. That is why I believe that half of Fortune 500 CEOS will be women before 2030.
