And 21% of those companies say women's career advancement is a low or no priority at all.

And those are the companies that participated in the women in the workplace report we do with McKinsey.

And so these companies in many ways are the best of the best.

And then we do see that ambition gap, but only when women don't get the opportunities and support they need.

I think the conventional wisdom should be and is what's true, which is that when you get the best out of your whole workforce, you're gonna do better.

So what's happening is that women face more barriers at every level of the career.

Entry level, we call it the broken rung and we see it every year.

For every 100 men that get promoted, 93 women

60 black women, 82 Latinas.

That's because we hire and promote men based on potential and women for what they've already proven.

So of course, women can't prove they're a manager.

Then at the senior levels, our report shows this year that at the same levels, a man is 70% more likely to get tapped for leadership training.

Think about what that says.

You're a future leader, come to leadership training.

And so

This is only happening in the companies that aren't doing the right thing.

When women get the full support and the same stretch opportunities, they're not leaning out at all.

And so it's a question of economic productivity.

Do we want to get the best growth in our economy?

Do we want to get the best out of our workforce?
