Too ambitious? Not ambitious enough? Or just doing her job?

Women are still significantly underrepresented in C-suite positions, and it could take more than two decades to reach gender parity at the executive level. London software company Vestd’s C-suite Churn report says women on the FTSE 100 (which covers the 100 most capitalized blue chips on the London Stock Exchange) says women CEOs earn higher approval ratings than men, but face “heightened scrutiny and bias” over their performance. One media analysis finds that women CEOs were twice as likely to be described as both “too ambitious” as well as “lacking ambition” as male CEOs. “Men are also twice as likely to be labeled as ‘innovators,’ while females are 72% more likely to be described as ‘inspirational.’”
