„vital parameters‟ that need to be addressed, to see women folk advance as professionals.
Women have long proved their capabilities to be „Equal‟ at profession, But the amount of struggle, challenges and work
attitude they face in the professional world is far from „Equal‟.
This survey has also addressed for the first time unlike other surveys, the perception and capturing the „Voice of men

Women

Men
My former company offered extensive training
programs to selected staff to build new skills
and enhance our career choices.
Trust that people show in you (You can do it or
achieve it) will make very big difference
(Recognition).
I worked for 13 years for consulting
firms, which gave me broad and deep
experience and skills development in a variety
of roles and in many business domains.
When I got assigned a mentor who was a very
acknowledged and a visionary leader gave me
a tectonic shift to my thinking and belief in the
ability to draw on opportunity.
I feel that legal changes promoted by
feminists in the 1970s and 1980s (equal pay
for work of equal value, making it illegal to
reject a job applicant due to gender, etc.)
enabled our careers
support from organization after a health
issue, support in being open ..I came back to
work with l
ower vision, but got a higher grade.
For a mother to have a career, she must have
a support system around her, that may include
spouse with an easier and flexible job, support
from extended family, no other family
obligations, a very flexible work schedule or
support from immediate manager or the
organization..

16. JOB CHANGE
– GENDER VOICES
Women
I had to leave a toxic environment where I
was not able to act to my full capacity and
avoid gender issues in workplace
including open discrimination (it does
exist?).
The work environment was very male
focused and even though we had
equivalent seniority, others would ask my
husband if I was available for a meeting
or work – bizarre (reflection on society?).
Survey Report 2013
Men
I have taken a break from a corporate
career to experience entrepreneurship
at least for some time and lead a life of
a Consultant. This is for my own
satisfaction and gaining a different kind
of experience (Independence?).
If a Job adds to a new dimension then
it is a plus (Job Satisfaction?)
With kids going to school, their varying
schedules, after-school activities, Mom
must have a flexible job and as close to
home as possible. Other parameters are
secondary. The bottom line is kids need
at least one or both parents(A gender
bias?)

Survey Report 2013
Men
Female manager at my first company
could not see me advance (Are women
themselves the major inhibitor? Is the
gender bias promoted by women?)
Financial commitments, and job
security, in an volatile IT market, inhibits
you sometimes from taking risks to your
career.
Male-focused work environment was the
major inhibitor…there is still gender
bias.
Lack of quality mentoring is an inhibitor
Being perceived as a threat by
seniors, personal jealousies and
resultant micro-management
Moving up the ladder curbs work
independence (time is no longer your
own)
There is entrenched beliefs that women
are 'difficult' to work with…
My supervisor has said the reason why
men get paid more is because they
have to take care of family.
Lack of encouragement from immediate
management. Females are encouraged
to stay in support roles. Decades of
culturally supported sexism

managers, colleagues and peers. Many of them have been very inspiring and
encouraging as well. However, this breed, was very less, …many of them abuse good
women policies. until, a women treats a Man as a colleague and another
employee, then looking as a gender, its difficult for some to take her as a lead.
I always felt that major inhibiting factors are Family social pressure, and lack of
inspiration / self confidence to reach at top.
I had lead more than 10 women
employees…only two people had a vision for their future, what roles to handle and
enthusiasm to work for it.
Even though we have lot of women enabling programs for career progression. I don't
see any seriousness for considering them except if the person holds personal interest.

25. LIMITATIONS TO CONSIDER WOMEN
IN LEADERSHIP Male Voices
Survey Report 2013
I was unable to find strong desire and ambition in women to move ahead of career and
take challenges Primarily it is ability to manage career and home effectively - there aren't
enough enablers to manage this.
In aggressive situations the women leaders have excelled by having a balanced view, the
dexterity in decision based on speed, risk taking and in high competitive landscapes
women leaders have strangely been seen as devoid of any emotional considerations
while the male leaders without displaying emotion have balanced emotional impact to the
larger ecosystem.
It may be quoted that women as leaders would be weak etc. I think the converse is the
reason. Women in leadership positions suddenly don a very different and sometimes
scary proportions of ruthless unpredictable tactics which unsettles the predictable male
thinking. Unpredictability in behavioral pattern as well as arrogance/rudeness which
comes in with power.

26. LIMITATIONS TO CONSIDER WOMEN
IN LEADERSHIP Male Voices
Survey Report 2013
Most women have family as first preference which impacts working hours. Staying alone
(away from family in a different country) for a longer period at any project site or on
project work is extremely difficult.
There is a presumption that women are not ready to stretch themselves to raise up to
demanding challenges.
There is a tendency to think that personal family commitments may come in the way of
dedicated work hours and overtime if required. this is not my perception, but what I see in
my experience at work.
Most men rely on male counterparts for completing jobs– they have been doing the work
all the time…this is NA in the present ..with both genders in the workplaces.
But, expectations of society and family on women who work are different from men who
work.

27. LIMITATIONS TO CONSIDER WOMEN
IN LEADERSHIP Male Voices
Survey Report 2013
Once family pressures them to marry then don't know whether will continue or
not….Woman's priority changes after marriage - much more than a man's. Her ability
to multi-task, is huge, but family, home and husband take up the same. Where women
flourish, is when given the right backing at home.
Other then very few, many women I met in my career want to fill the work hours. they
do not have a vision. they only want to use the work as an "escapism tool" from family.
... they never want to go out of the box or stay longer to fix really important work
related problems.
Most Women I have worked for/with are a lot more focused on the job at hand than
men are and operational/implementing strategy efficiency is far higher. However the
seriousness that a woman brings to the job at hand sometimes blocks
creativity/strategizing, esp. if it an entirely new idea that has never been thought of
earlier.

28. LIMITATIONS TO CONSIDER WOMEN
IN LEADERSHIP Male Voices
Survey Report 2013
You might say I am a male chauvinist but in my opinion, females in the entire animal
kingdom are home makers. They are the best in that. Don't take me wrong; that home
could even be a company they work for. Having said that, in my opinion, women should
be considered for roles that are critical in implementation and not decision making.
At home "Mom is the minister" but outside "Dad is the supreme power" and that's the
recipe for a balanced and happy family. Work place is no different, at every level there
are Dads, Moms and children. Can you imagine a home run by two Moms or two Dads?
We need women at every level. But the deficiency is in understanding "supremacy" and
that is where women drop the ball. They forget to be the "Mom" they are at home, which
is stopping them from being who they could be
No reason's in my mind why women can't be treated equally and achieve the same level
of professional status, although I do agree that not all work places/individuals see it this
way.
