Disparity of Women in High Power Jobs

Pro- McNamee
Con- Michel
Mediator- Myers
Scribe- Noble

Pros-

  • Women should be equally represented within CEO positions
  • All companies, regardless of field, with the most women on their boards of directors significantly and consistently outperform those with no female representation
  • It is good to have different points of view
  • The real world has both men and women and in it and it functions perfectly, so why shouldn't a business


Cons-

  • We should let this problem work itself work
  • Hire based on who is better qualified for position
  • Combating discrimination
    • Illegal to not hire someone based on gender
  • There may not be enough women candidates to fill "quota" of positions
  • Orchestras conduction auditions use a curtain in order to recruit more women
  • In past history, mostly men had high power jobs but that will soon change overtime so companies should not change how they hire
