I hope you will spare the messenger. I know I just told you about that distressing study on how female partners in Big Law are losing ground on the client front.
Be prepared: I’ve got more bad news. This time, it’s about women generally. According to a new survey by job site CareerBuilder, which surveyed 3,625 full-time workers in government and the private sector, women have the least desire to pursue leadership positions compared to minorities, gays and the disabled:
By an 11 percentage point margin, men (40 percent) are more likely than women (29 percent) to desire a leadership role. Additionally, African Americans (39 percent) and LGBT (44 percent) workers are more likely to aspire to a leadership role than the national average. Thirty-two percent of workers with disabilities aspire to leadership positions, as well as 35 percent of Hispanics–both near the national average.
