Peggy Elsrode, president, Americas at Dyson, shared her own experience climbing the corporate ladder and taking an active role in lifting up other women in business.
So, why aren’t there more women in leadership?
Drawing on her own experience, Elsrode said that every time she had to over-deliver to be on par. Even recently, she said, when her results showed record-breaking P&L, a senior leader remarked that it “must be a fluke.” Not only was it a “rude comment to make, but one that diminished the hard work that the team had put in to receive those results,” she said.
With so many companies upholding old standards with mostly males in leadership positions and business doing seemingly fine, Elsrode raised the question: why should there be a change? The answer, she said, that it could be so much better. Women are better at communicating more often, with stronger clarity, more openness and honesty,” said Elsrode referencing research data. “Technology and innovation will continue to disrupt every aspect of the economy. Diversity and leadership bring new perspectives, and new perspectives bring new ideas and new ideas for new innovation.”
