Abstract
Females represent just 6% of Fortune 500 CEOs in the U.S. Which
competencies, traits, motivations, and experiences drive female CEOs to the corner
office? Our study includes interviews with 57 women, all current and former CEOs of
Fortune 500 companies, in an effort to explore the common characteristics of female
CEOs and record their experiences as well as actions organizations took that
supported–—and hindered–—their leadership ascents. We found common themes of
female CEOs’ courage, risk taking, resilience, and ability to manage ambiguity.
Women need not shy away from tough and unpredictable job assignments that will
build these characteristics. To this end, we suggest steps organizations should take to
cultivate a robust pipeline of female talent in the workplace.
