In Norway, a woman's place is in the boardroom
Firms must introduce female directors or face closure under a new law

Women Directors on Corporate Boards - the Norwegian Case

I hope this idea catches on around the world and perhaps the world will become a better place. Because I am not impressed so far with the job being done by men, the world is seriously fucked up.

Just as most women are not as strong as men neither are they as aggressive…a trait that is needed in the corporate world and in politics. Speaking in general not particular.


I don’t really believe this but thought I would be a provocateur.

I'm not exactly disagreeing, but there are very few boards that are dominated by women.  Offhand, I can think of Xerox and HP before Fiorina got forced out.  Fiorina managed to damn near kill off HP, so that having one terrible example really hurt the statistics.

I would like to see that study please. Sounds fishy especially in light of the lack of boards actually ran by women.

Dont yell at me!

I could care less if a woman gets the job, provided the job is gained upon merit and ability.

I asked for the study because i dont believe one exists. Women are just as capable as men, and, depending on the industry, may be slightly more so.
