Zusammenfassung

Die Unterstützung durch den Vorstand wird in der Diskussion um Vielfalt und Chancengleichheit regelmäßig als Voraussetzung und Garant einer erfolgreichen Strategie dargestellt. In diesem Kapitel geht es darum, zu verstehen, warum die Rolle des CEOs häufig überbewertet wird und seine oder ihre Unterstützung oft weniger bewirkt als erwartet oder sogar kontraproduktiv sein kann.

Notes

  1. 1.

    Originaltext: „[…] gender outcomes across the largest companies are not changing. Women are less likely to receive the first critical promotion to manager – so far fewer end up on the path to leadership – and they are less likely to be hired into more senior positions. As a result, the higher you look in companies, the fewer women you see“ (Eigene Übersetzung der Autorin).

  2. 2.

    Originaltext: „Not very long ago, CEOs enjoyed an elevated status in their organizations. […] the broader management team, who tended to focus on saying the right things and avoiding mistakes when interacting with the CEO. An image emerged of the CEO as brilliant oracle, who was expected to have all the answers. The success of the business, then, was defined and constrained by the knowledge and leadership capabilities of the CEO. Whether or not this image was ever really or widely true, it is clear that the organizations CEOs oversee today are more complex and unwieldy. […] What we have seen emerge is a movement toward ‘shared leadership̕ management models, which we define as organizations that place the CEO at the center of a circle rather than atop a pyramid“ (Eigene Übersetzung der Autorin).

  3. 3.

    Originaltext: „The department’s action against Countrywide makes clear that we will not hesitate to hold financial institutions accountable, including one of the nation’s largest, for lending discrimination“, said Attorney General Eric Holder. „These institutions should make judgments based on applicants’ creditworthiness, not on the color of their skin. With today’s settlement, the federal government will ensure that the more than 200,000 African-American and Hispanic borrowers who were discriminated against by Countrywide will be entitled to compensation“ (Eigene Übersetzung der Autorin).

  4. 4.

    Originaltext: „Countrywide’s actions contributed to the housing crisis, hurt entire communities, and denied families access to the American dream“, said Thomas E. Perez, Assistant Attorney General for the Civil Rights Division. „We are using every tool in our law enforcement arsenal, including some that were dormant for years, to go after institutions of all sizes that discriminated against families solely because of their race or national origin“ (Eigene Übersetzung der Autorin).
