critically analyse what you regard as the most important solution that can tackle the problem of gender diversity in senior leadership positions in organisations.

Essay topic background:
Studies have shown that gender diversity in organisational leadership benefits organisations and
societies from various perspectives. These studies have, however, underlined that despite significant
shifts towards greater acceptance of women in leadership roles over the last 50 years, women are still
underrepresented in organisational leadership (to varying degrees) everywhere in the world. A range
of remedial solutions have been considered in different countries, from focusing on education that
abolishes the traditional gender roles, to setting gender quotas for boards of directors by legislative
bodies. You task is to critically analyse what you regard as the most important solution that can tackle
the problem of gender diversity in senior leadership positions in organisations.
Important points to note:
You should refer to company/ country case studies in your essay.
You should justify your choice of solution by, among all, justifying why it is the most important
way and what you regard as the most important in this context (e.g. is it the fairest? the
quickest? the most enduring?)
Your essay should adopt a conventional essay structure i.e.: introduction, main body of essay
and discussion followed by conclusion
You must indicate the wordcount on your essay.
Please use the Harvard internal citation style. For example, (Ehsani, 2010, p.135).
In addition to the textbook and the lecture materials, you can use the following references as
guidance. However, you are strongly recommended to use other resources which would help
you further develop a convincing and strong argument.
