Everyone's ConcernJob Segregation ''Women's work' - low pay. low status 'Skill' - socially constructed Career Opportunities Social Networks - exclusive Selection Processes - who 'deserves' promotion Internal Labor Markets - defining 'commitment'

Problems Diversifying the Top Unfocussed efforts to increase diversity Efforts on setting up programs - less focus on outcome Try to 'fix' culture first Diversity initiatives left to 'the diverse' 

Inequality and Difference Not the same thing Equality of Rights, or opportunities  Difference = Diversity = Strength 'Difference' debate in gender studies - either women and men are not different, so no basis for inequality, or each have unique strengths, so inequality isn't smart

Motivation  Maslow - 'Hierarchy of Needs'  - no accounting for gender differences Newer reworking - difference by job, not gender

Leadership  Leadership Literature - leaderships fits bot men and women 'Feminization' of leadership
