But those gains are fragile and are offset by lagging equity gaps in the ranks of middle management. There’s much work left to be done. And that’s a very important message for corporate boards and their commitment to oversight of workforce culture.study by McKinsey and LeanIn.org, .
But significant problems remain for leadership to address. The Study makes clear that progress is much less notable for women in the middle of the promotion pipeline.
