Getting a plum position is NOT a right, it is a reward. If you are, or are perceived to be, someone who obtained such a position to fill a quota, then your credibility will always be suspect. It seems to me that people who are chronically politically correct are suffering from a Peter Pan syndrome. They refuse to view the world as it actually is, preferring to cling to some fantasy utopia and imagine that everyone should embrace their worldview, despite the fact it does not conform to the way things are. Unfortunately, their naivete overrides their logic (aka common sense), so they end up spouting such silly fluff like this article. I think this is one of the reasons people put such little faith in the NDP.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4491368270187146156.post-30928166526329362532011-10-23T10:16:01.570-04:002011-10-23T10:16:01.570-04:00[You should care when it's been shown that a g...[You should care when it's been shown that a greater female presence on boards correlates to improved profits]<br /><br />And the Lizard people run the Moon.<br /><br />If I state something fantastic, I'd best be damned sure to post reference or a link.<br /><br />Where's yours?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4491368270187146156.post-34726479518575134992011-10-23T10:14:56.372-04:002011-10-23T10:14:56.372-04:00That last comment about the public company says he...That last comment about the public company says he does not care if male or female. He should care when it's been shown that a greater female presence on boards correlates to improved profits, improved governance and improved employee morale. Why wouldn't any company want to have their board and senior leadership be more reflective of the demographic of their customers and employees? This only makes sense. Have you ever been on a board? Many of them are real cozy affairs that do not always operate in the overall best interest of shareholders. Many of them are run like a club.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
