The vast majority of our society鈥檚 leaders are men鈥� every president of the United States and very likely, many of our past bosses. This is also still the case in regional theater even though many in the field can easily think of a few female leaders at those larger regional theaters, like Diane Paulus, Lynn Meadow, and Molly Smith. There are as many women as men who graduate with advanced degrees in theater arts or theater management, and there are plenty of women employed in all ranks but the highest. Moreover, the majority of theater tickets are bought by women. But, for decades, women have held only about 25 percent of leadership positions in nonprofit regional theaters.

By Anna Catalano and Nick Slavin- Business crisis can spell opportunity for women leaders
by Sumru Erkut, Ph.D.
July 18, 2012Crisis can spell opportunity for women. Marissa Mayer鈥檚 appointment to head Yahoo can be seen as one more example of a talented woman brought in to save a company in danger of failing, a so-called 鈥済lass cliff鈥� phenomenon-in-action where a women is hired when a company is on the verge of disastrous financial plunge. But Mayer鈥檚 appointment can also be seen as the Yahoo board being jolted into recognizing the solid business case for hiring a woman to lead their company. Our research (with my colleagues Vicki Kramer and Alison Konrad) on the advantages that a critical mass of three or more women directors can bring to a corporate board suggests that, attuned to the perspectives of multiple stakeholders, women tend to have a collaborative leadership style that increases listening, social support, and asking tough questions and demanding direct and detailed answers, all leading to win-win problem-solving. Yahoo needs all of that.

December 2006- Critical Mass on Corporate Boards: Why Three or More Women Enhance Governance
by Sumru Erkut, Ph.D.
From the Fall/Winter 2006 Research & Action ReportDoes it matter to corporate governance whether women serve on a board? If so, does it make a difference how many women serve? That is, is there a critical mass that can bring significant change to the boardroom and improve corporate governance? My colleagues Vicki W. Kramer, Principal, V. Kramer Associates, and Alison M. Konrad, Professor of Organizational Behavior at the Ivey School of Business, University of Western Ontario, and I set out to answer these important questions. Our findings shed light on a growing problem for organizations and society: not enough women are serving on corporate boards to the corporations鈥� detriment.
