In the late 1800s, Max Weber criticized organizations for running their businesses like a family, or what some of us might refer to as 'mom and pop'. Weber believed this informal organization of supervisors and employees inhibited the potential success of a company because power was misplaced.

Introduction

On an intellectual level, most of us realize that in order to be fair and equitable in the workplace, we need to have an equal representation of men and women. However, this isn't always the case - even in modern times. Gender diversity, as it relates to a work environment, means that men and women are hired at the same rate, paid equally for equal work, and promoted at the same rate. Granted, we have come a long way in the last 50 years or so, but we are still a very long way from achieving true gender diversity and equality in the workforce.

In this lesson, we will explore gender diversity - and the lack of it - in the workforce.

Modern-Day Gender Diversity Facts

As of last year, according to the McKinsey Report, a well-respected report on this subject, women made up about 40% of the global workforce. However, only about 5% of CEOs ( chief executive officers, or leaders of large corporations) are women. How can that be, you may ask...

In addition to that gross disparity, would you believe that women still earn only 80% of what their male counterparts do? That means that a male accountant who has been with XYZ Company for 5 years earns $70,000, but a female accountant who does the same job and has also been with XYZ Company for 5 years very likely earns only $56,000.

Furthermore, at XYZ Company, that same female is much more likely than her male counterpart to be passed over for a promotion because there are assumptions that she has children who require more time and attention from her than the male's children do (after all, his wife can care for the kids). If she's of childbearing age, it's often believed that she will give up her career if she gets pregnant.

A Sobering Example

Let's look at three workers at XYZ Company. XYZ is a law firm where Jane, Judy, and Joe all work. Jane is 27 and a recent graduate of a prestigious law school. She was first in her class, and her grades were stellar. She is also transgender. Judy is 40 and has been with the firm for 12 years. She, too, did very well in school and has won some tough cases while at the firm. Joe is 32 and has been with the firm for 2 years. While he has some experience in the courtroom, his win/loss record is about 50/50. It is pertinent to mention here that Joe and Jane are both single, while Judy is married and has two children. Judy's husband is also an attorney, although he works at a different firm.

There has recently been an opening for a partner at the firm. All three of these people apply for the position. Keep in mind that law, even today, is a male-dominated field. In fact, four of the five partners at this firm are men. Although Jane has only been with the firm for about a year, she makes a point not to dress in a feminine way and is always talking and joking with the other men on her floor. Judy usually wears nice dresses, along with a strand of pearls, and she usually keeps to herself, preferring to keep her door closed while she's working. Joe is a casual dresser and is one of Jane's friends and confidants.

Even though Judy has the most courtroom wins and the most experience, she is about 15% less likely to get promoted than Joe is. In addition, when her daughter was sick and had a risky surgery last year, Judy took an extended amount of time off, and this will probably hurt her chances for getting this promotion as well. One of the partners even said to her last year, 'At least you won't lose much income while you take off work since your husband probably makes more money at his job than you do here!'

-This image demonstrates exactly what the four basic management functions are, I also thing these functions are necessary on a personal level as well.
- This website briefly explains each of the four basic functions of management.

http://smallbusiness.chron.com/four-basic-functions-make-up-management-process-23852.html

-I like this image of demonstration because you learn that it does not only fall on the management but the other end of the spectrum and the responsibility of the other party, as a employee.

- I enjoyed this video because many times as the video states people only see the last too that a manager does, influencing and controlling, but just like the video shows a manager actually spends as much time behind closed doors during the first two, as employees see them doing the last too.

Now, before you think your boss is different, you should also know that the four functions of management are standard across industries, whether that be in a manufacturing plant, a home office, a grocery store, a retail store, a restaurant, a hotel, or even an amusement park.
