Why Do Women In Business Matter?
Women are essential for business practice. Not only is it important to include women in the workplace for gender diversity, but overall it has been statistically proven that women increase productivity, financial earnings, performance, collaboration, and creativity.
Now more than ever women are chasing their education, going for big roles, joining big companies, and most importantly–founding big businesses.
And we’re killing it.
So, why do women in business matter? Let’s dive in and find out.
Women in Business Inspire a New Generation of Leadership
This is a new era of entrepreneurship. More and more women are pursuing their own dreams and founding their own businesses. In fact, there are 114% more woman-owned businesses in 2022 than there were 20 years ago in the United States. This is a testament to the way this generation is more education and career-oriented than ever before.
When women share their success stories, they inspire women to pursue their own success stories. Seeing so many women create thriving businesses only shows that it is possible, that the odds are stacked high but not high enough. That there is a glass ceiling but it can be shattered. A new generation of leadership is emerging, and with the help of social media, it’s happening more rapidly than ever.
Women Provide a Fresh Perspective on Business
It’s no secret that women and men have different business perspectives and styles. However, women bring a fresh perspective on business. When a workplace is not inclusive and is restricted to the same demographic of individuals, it can be hard to think openly and creatively. Women bring a unique and fresh perspective to business with their ideas, experiences, and backgrounds. This is especially true since men and women have such different lived experiences which inevitably shape their outlook. Having a woman in business is important for insight that may otherwise be missed. This may be the difference between a stagnant business and a thriving business.
Women Have Successful Business Styles That We Can All Learn From
Women in business are known to increase collaboration, creativity, and productivity. This is due to the innovative nature of these business principles. Women are able to foster these results due to these soft skills. Soft skills are just as essential as hard skills are; the ability to be compassionate, work well with others, take criticism, be a team member, and be communicative go a long way. The business styles that women portray demonstrate that good character goes a long way and goes hand in hand with business practice.
As a serial entrepreneur myself, I understand the overall importance of overcoming the odds, using soft skills in hand with hard skills, fostering diversity, and offering a fresh perspective in every venture. That is why I started the Boss I AM brand, to inspire women to follow their dreams and use every declaration to uplift themselves.
You may be the next successful woman in business. Claim it.
