Women on Corporate Boards Makes Good Business Sense
Carolyn Nahas, managing director of Korn/Ferry International in Southern California, has asked a number of male CEOs of large firms why they have no women on their boards. Their response most often was "I'd like a woman on my board, but I can't find one." When I asked the follow-up question, "What kind of women are you looking for?"
