The “ladder” promotion system
Women in S&P 500 Companies
Source: Catalyst, Pyramid: Women in S&P 500 Companies (2019)
5% CEOs
21% board seats
27% senior level managers
37% low and mid level managers
45% total employees
In 2018 there were fewer women among
chief executives in Fortune 500 companies
than there were people named James. In
that group there was only one more women
than there were Johns.

Similarity-Attraction Effect
People prefer to affiliate with those who share similar
attitudes, personalities, physical attributes, and a host of
other characteristics compared to others who do not.
Source: Donn Byrne: Attraction Paradigm
The privilege of power makes organizations dumb
Knowledge is with workers, not managers
Knowledge workers must know more about
their job than their boss does–or else they are
no good at all.
PETER DRUCKER
Source: https://www.nytimes.com/interactive/2018/04/24/upshot/women-and-men-named-john.html
Management has neither awareness of a
need nor intention to change the power
dynamic in organizations.
It is so because power is a privilege. We are
not aware of our privilege and we
subconsciously cling to it.
Power as Privilege
Self-organization
Self-organization, also called (in the social sciences) spontaneous order, is a
process where some form of overall order arises from local interactions between
parts of an initially disordered system. The process is spontaneous, not needing
control by any external agent. It is often triggered by random fluctuations, amplified
by positive feedback. The resulting organization is wholly decentralized, distributed
over all the components of the system.

Decentralizing control requires decentralizing
both the authority to make decisions and the
information required to make these decisions
correctly.

Alignment as a prerequisite to autonomy
Almost universally the best way for a chief
executive to impact their organization is
through working on better alignment
throughout the organization and pushing
decision making down the hierarchy as much
as possible.
