Women In Technology - Friday Links - 26/05/2023
Dear WIT Friends,
this is our selection of Friday links:
Women in Leadership:
Is the number of female leaders increasing? Although the percentage has increased to almost 30% in the last two years, women still struggle to be represented in leadership positions.
As Shery Sandberg has quoted: In the future, there will be no female leaders. There will be just leaders.
