Babson College has released
their annual study of woman-run businesses
in Massachusetts.
One interesting finding?
Female leaders are also owners.
80% of the CEO’s held controlling ownership.
Is that surprising?
No.
I was told by a male mentor
during my time in corporate that
if I really wanted to be CEO,
I should start my own company.
Perceived as easier than
duking it out within the male dominated Fortune 500 companies
(‘course anyone can start a company,
making that company successful is more challenging).
