The pastry is just an embarrassing stain waiting to happen.
2、 Youre trapped in a corner listening to your junior from accounts complain about his manager. In the centre of the room is the boss and swirling around him are the golden ones, confident, brazen in their ambition and male.Women are not natural net workers. We might be more capable in the workplace,
3、but we are more likely than our male peers to hide our talents and ourselves behind the water cooler at the company. And this failure to chat is holding us back. More than 50 years after the second-wave feminists smashed their way into the workplace, corporate UK is still overwhelmingly male. Just 1
4、0 percent of board members of top 100 companies are women. Some 25 of Britains biggest companies have no women at the top at all.“Its a complete scandal,“ says Professor Lynda Gratton, of the London Business School (LBS). “Only ;the most exceptional women make it to the board, yet the boards of UK c
5、ompanies are full of men who are not in the least bit exceptional. “Gordon Brown agrees. This week he suggested that companies could be threatened with “serious action“ to ensure more women at the companies boardroom, unless the “completely unacceptable“ gender inequality was addressed. Did Brown fe
6、el the irony as he looked round his Cabinet table to find just four female faces?A study by the LBS found that a range of complicated factors were hampering women, including issues around childcare and a structural bias towards men in male-dominated organizations.But one key element in mens success
7、appears to be their ability to network. “Its what you know and who you know,“ says Heather McGregor, director of search firm Taylor Bennett. A businesswomans worth can be weighed by notions of “human capital“-quantitative achievements such as education or skills in the workplace, and “social capital
8、“, she says. But there is a more vague measure of who you know and how you plug into the complex human webs that bind companies and transmit knowledge.“ Women tend to lack social capital. Gaining it takes time and effort. “There are sound economic reasons for the importance of social capital-this is
9、 not just the old boys club dressed up. Oliver Williamson won the Nobel Prize for Economics in 2009 for his work on transaction costs. One element of his research found that trust reduces transaction costs-in other words, if youre doing business with someone you know, the cost of doing it decreases.
10、Jane Scott, the UK director of the Professional Boards Forum, which brings together women with boardroom potential and chairmen of major companies, says:“ This is a sweeping generalization I know, but women dont attach as much importance to networking. Women do their jobs in a quiet professional man
11、ner and dont tell everybody what a good job they are doing. Headhunters tend to look for people who are visible.“ Head hunters, who select most of those who fill the positions in top 100 companies boardrooms, are increasingly using a service called BoardEx to judge candidates. At huge cost to its cl
12、ients, it profiles 380 , 000 businessmen and analyses their personal contacts. This is a web tool that works on the assumption that its who you know that counts, and who they know that counts even more.If its all starting to sound a bit unscruplous(不择手段的), then you need to change your female mindset
13、, says Jessica Pryce-Jones, chief executive of iopener, the human asset management consultancy, and author of the management book Happiness at Work.“ I know one woman who hates networking because she thinks it is deeply manipulative, but its about forming relationships that can be used to help other
14、s, and get help in return. You need to accept that it is a game. You are not helping your organization if you are in the corner hiding behind a pot plant.“Networking is not all champagne and pastry. It involves planning and research as much as charm. Linda Duberley, a networking veteran, says:“ Its
15、loads of work and its not for the fainthearted or the shy. But if you like it, its incredibly compelling and irresistible.“ Duberley, who owns a media training business called Duberley Media, was on her way to speak at a charity lunch for women in London when I spoke to her yesterday.“ I have my cha
16、rity work, my professional life and my personal life, and its about knitting it all together and joining the dots. You insert yourself at a given point, spray your card around and meet people. Then you invite them on to something else. You have to be so disciplined with yourself. I carry a notebook
17、around with me, always. “Pryce-Jones argues that women should be less ashamed about using networks, and trying to become more visible. “Its all about finding a strategy that works for you. Its about thinking I cant do the footy chat, and Im damned if Im going to talk about darts and drink beer. So p
18、erhaps it means volunteering within your organization, setting up some charitable initiative that gets you noticed. “There is no national framework of womens networks, but more a blend of formal events, such as the LBS Women in Business conferences, and semi-formal initiatives. McGregor organizes ne
19、tworking events such as an annual clay-shooting party for a mixed bag of female professionals- from bankers to entrepreneurs. With Sian Westerman, the Rothschild banker, she arranges breakfasts for senior women to meet over the latest collection of Anya Hind march handbags.As one attender puts it:“
20、You have to bring something to the party and a certain level of glamour is expected. But you meet some incredible women, who can be really useful. “In a business world still dominated by men, networking solely with other women is not much use. Cynthia Carroll, the boss of Anglo-American, the top 100
21、 mining company, got the top job after meeting the chairman, Sir Mark Moody- Stewart, at a breakfast meeting in Davos the annual World Economic Forum party in Switzerland. This is the ultimate business networking event, where shoulders are rubbed and deals are struck.At board level, it is an “absolu
22、te premise“ to have contacts with other high-level players in business, says Helen Alexander, president of the Confederation of British Businesses and a nonexecutive director at Centrica and Rolls-Royce. Boardroom culture is key to womens success in breaking through, she argues, and a new generation
23、 of business leaders is committed to promoting talent wherever it is found.Alexander says: “Its not the old boys thing that this has been in the past. Its important to have a broad vision of the world, its about sharing war stories and habits and problems. “In 2002, Norway, which had similarly male
24、boardrooms, introduced a quota system. Now, 40 percent of board members at Norwegian companies have to be female.A quota is not the answer, says the female, elected president of Britains most influential business trade body. But, Alexander, admits, there is no simple, easy answer to bring about volu
