The good news is that awareness and intolerance for these old social norms are growing. I believe we are at a tipping point with opportunity to address past wrongs and change how we do business. A lot is riding on the many women (and men!) working to increase transparency and level playing fields - to create new standards for how we hold ourselves accountable as a society that values intelligence, creativity, initiative and ambition over protecting old power bases and cronyism.
