Women’s management abilities are valuable resources that no society or business can afford to ignore. Male prejudice in the corporate world will prevent implementation of women in the immediate future. There is no sign of the “glass ceiling” shattering any time soon. The first generation of female executives had to play by the men’s rules, but the second generation is making it to the top of management by using their own skills rather than copying those of the men above them in the corporate ladder.

Diversity means more than simply adding women. (2006, February 15). New Pittsburgh Courier (City Edition),  p. A6.  Retrieved April 22, 2008, from Ethnic NewsWatch (ENW) database. (Document ID: 1015729891).

Mayor Bob O’Conner of Pittsburgh Pennsylvania assembled a group of “diverse” citizens to help run the city. This group made up of seven people included white men and white women. Diversity goes beyond gender; it not only means diversity of result but also diversity of effort. Mayor O’Conner went to racially diverse areas of Pittsburgh to appoint new members to various comities. Diversity includes representing varying levels of educational, cultural, and political backgrounds. Prosperity seems to come from diversity among those who lead.
