Though women have made great strides in the business world, there are more advances to be made. For this to happen, it is important to understand how women view power and what is holding them back from seeking leadership positions. What are their internal and external obstacles and how can they overcome them? Statistics from Catalyst research show that women’s representation in Fortune 500 leadership positions has stagnated in recent years from 13.5% in 2009 to 14.5% in 2013, however the position of women seated on Fortune 500 boards has improved from 9.6% to 16.6% in the same period.
