🌟 Did you know that women-owned firms now make up nearly four in ten U.S. businesses, generating $2.7 trillion in annual revenue? According to The 2024 Impact of Women-Owned Businesses Report, commissioned by Wells Fargo, women-owned businesses have been growing at almost double the rate of those owned by men since 2019. However, there are still barriers to overcome, especially for women of color, to fully unlock their potential. As we navigate through the ever-changing economic landscape, it's inspiring to see women leaders thriving and making a difference. Patrice Purcell DeCorrevont from Wells Fargo shares valuable insights from her 30-year career in financial services, highlighting four key habits that contribute to the success of women leaders: Connection, Capacity, Collaboration, and Communication—the four C's of leadership. 💪💼 ▶️ Read more here: https://bit.ly/4918dKQ

📊 The latest #Fortune500 list reveals some key trends and challenges in the corporate world. Despite efforts, diversity in leadership remains stagnant with only 52 women and 8 Black CEOs at the helm. Meanwhile, efficiency and high interest rates have driven profits, California is reclaiming its spot as a business hub, and AI is transforming the tech landscape. Walmart and Apple continue their reign as revenue and profit leaders. Dive deeper into these insights and what they mean for the future of business. #Fortune500 #LeadershipDiversity #CorporateTrends

The business landscape has changed rapidly over the past year, and yet the percentage of Fortune 500 companies with women CEOs has remained stagnant at 10.4% (https://lnkd.in/e2jiVPQS ). Similarly, the percentage of US corporate board seats held by women has stalled at a little under 30% (https://lnkd.in/e8TQQsxB).   This lack of growth and gender diversity is concerning... but not insurmountable. It simply underscores the importance of providing the tools and resources women leaders need to advance their careers.    As a part of this, we're striving every day at Chief to help members reach their individual leadership goals through a customizable membership experience, curated networking events and educational workshops, and hands-on support.    I encourage my network to continue showing up for women leaders, and I hope that next year we see more companies with women at the helm!  

It is disheartening to see that the share of Fortune 500 companies run by women CEOs has stagnated at 10.4%. This isn't just a statistic, it's a reflection of the persistent barriers women face in reaching the highest levels of leadership. We need to do more than just talk about diversity, we need actionable steps and genuine commitment to support and elevate women leaders. #Leadership #Diversity #GenderEquality #WomenInBusiness
