Women are scoring higher in #LeadershipSkills, according to @HarvardBiz, so why haven't we noticed more women promoted to #leaders within their organizations? Lack of recognition or lack of desire?

[Harvard Business Review @HarvardBiz]

"Women make highly competent leaders, according to those who work most closely with them — and what’s holding them back is not lack of capability but a dearth of opportunity." https://t.co/nmzSmSUQu0
