    About this Episode

    Kathryn Sollmann is the author  of Ambition Redefined: Why the Corner Office Doesn’t Work for Every Woman & What to Do Instead (2019). She commissioned a new survey during the ‘stay at home’ orders entitled “WOMEN IN 2020: Choosing to Move Up the Ladder—Or Not?” It reveals that few women at the mid-level—the pipeline for senior leaders—currently have these career aspirations in the C-Suite.

     The majority of women in the 35 to 44 age demographic, say they have reached their career goals and do not intend to advance further. Though these women are committed to their careers (even after the Covid-19 crisis that has been a stressful convergence of work and family), they admit that higher titles and compensation are secondary to having the personal bandwidth to care for family and overall work-life balance.

    Survey data also emphasizes that upper-level management women (not yet in the C-Suite) and women in the 45 to 55 age demographic also largely say that they have reached their career goals. Though these women who are closer to C-Suite or other top management posts would seem to be well-positioned for further advancement, they also say that they don’t want to increase the hours they devote to work or invite more stress.
