Uninteresting!
- It is interesting to examine and measure the male and female board members' skills against each other.
That only helps to create distance and stereo typier, said Benja Stig Fagerland, expert on women and boards.
Benja Stig Fagerland was the initiator of the NHO's construction of women's network Female Future, when the debate over women's quota was at its most intense in Norway for a few years back. She is now CEO of Talent Tuning, adviser Olympiatoppen, Chairman of including the chairman of the Board of the Academy in Oslo, and central In various international forums that work with the theme Women, management and control. Fagerland is very critical of the graduation of women's and men's knowledge of the boards.
- Women are individuals with different expertise, in the same way as men are. The important thing is not to paint the women's skills to the men's competence, but to build skills across the board. In times of crisis is the parent that the board members have different skills and take different roles in the effort to develop new strategies.
- Obsolete debate
In times of crisis it is crucial not the individual's competence, but a composition that allows the board as a whole has the experience and expertise needed to manage the crisis, said Fagerland, who think that the debate on women's and men's skills are obsolete.
- The only thing achieved by comparing men's and women's competence is that the debate about women and the board is set 15 years ago. The good government is about is not individuals, but about how to get diverse talents to work as a strong overall
towards a common goal.
- Opponents of affirmative action law argued that good qualified men would be replaced with women who were less qualified. Displays control analyst Gunnar Eckbo survey that it was a truth in this?
- No, it does not. An international study shows that there is a general tendency that poorly qualified aerial men has been replaced with younger, more motivated and harder-educated women. The time is ripe to adopt a perspective where you recognize that women, like men, is both similar and different. A study from the Center for Women in Business shows that it is not necessarily a preponderance of women, but the presence of various Profi laughs on the boards that create innovation.
Difference is the beginning of syngery!
A board with only female directors are not more innovative than a board consisting of only men.The only thing that creates results and synergies- difference is the beginning of synergy. To measure the individual parameters of the board is therefore uninteresting. It is the Board's overall role and responsibilities - including Board team - that should be debated, measured, under the applied and analyzed.
