Women in the workforce

It is true, as the article points out, that women do not make a large percentage of leaders in the top 100 construction companies.

But I do ask, how many of these companies have had substantial leadership changes in the last 20 years? If we take out all of the family companies, where leadership is kept in the family, then lets eliminate all the companies that have not changed top level leaders in 20 years, how many are left? I think then we will have a more accurate picture of women leading large companies.

Every company I have worked for was ultimately a family company. And the next generation of leaders at those companies is already picked.
