Quotes

  • Yulia Ogorodnikovahas quoted7 years ago
    There is evidence that company superstars aren’t very portable—they don’t transfer very well and tend to perform less well in their new firm than their old one. Unless a company can hire the star and his whole team, it is likely that his megasalary will be wasted, because the newly recruited star player has a hard time building new relationships. However, early in 2008 Professor Boris Groysberg released research suggesting this second-act rule doesn’t apply to women.13 Groysberg gathered data on nearly a thousand Wall Street analysts and found that if women shone at their last firm, then they will continue to shine just as brightly at their next, even without their backup team.

    In education:
    What percentage of bachelor’s degrees do women in the United States earn? 40 percent? 50 percent? No, try 57 percent. And what about the degree that really counts for professionals, the master’s? Here too women are on top. Women earn 58 percent of all graduate degrees. Even in business, women are now over a third of all graduates.7
    And at work:
    Nearly half the American workforce is female and the recession means we’ll soon be a majority.8 Women in management? 46 percent. At the extreme heights, the numbers are thin but rising.
