The 10 Commandments of Gender Balancing by Avivah WiIenberg-‐Cox
1. Make it strategic. Make it a business issue, not a women’s issue or a diversity issue.

2. Make it balanced. Focus on the ra@o of women AND men, not just the percentage of women in all metrics and KPIs.
The 10 Commandments of Gender Balancing by Avivah WiIenberg-‐Cox
3. Make targets neutral. Aim for an acceptable ra@o for both genders, not just women, e.g. a minimum of 40 percent of EITHER gender across ALL func@ons.
The 10 Commandments of Gender Balancing by Avivah WiIenberg-‐Cox
4. Make managers gender bilingual. Train ALL managers, men and women, to be skilled in managing across genders (just as you equip them to be competent across cultures).

5. Make managers accountable. ShiV accountability for progress on gender balancing to managers of teams, rather than on individuals

6. Celebrate “bilingual” competence. Most companies make a lot of noise about the women they promote. Also celebrate the managers who iden@fied, developed and promoted them — that’s where the skills are lacking today.

7. Embed flexibility. Measure output, not input. Let high performers work where and when they want, as long as they deliver. Forget work/ life for women; create flexibility for all and help managers manage flexible, virtual teams.
The 10 Commandments of Gender Balancing by Avivah WiIenberg-‐Cox
8. Make careers flexible, too. Adapt linear, unbroken, up or out career paaerns to recognize mul@ple career paths. If you iden@fy all your high-‐poten@al talent between 30 and 35, you are likely excluding women and a growing number of men.
The 10 Commandments of Gender Balancing by Avivah WiIenberg-‐Cox
9. Never say the word “women.” dump the old language and become truly bilingual and inclusive of both men and women. Replace the common “women in leadership,” “asser@veness training for women,” “coaching and mentoring for women” with a focus on balance, talent or customers — and ensure that all your development programs are balanced within your target range now.
The 10 Commandments of Gender Balancing by Avivah WiIenberg-‐Cox
10. Stop accusing men. Stop running workshops called “unconscious bias,” “discrimina@on” or “stereotyping.” Posi@on gender balancing as a business opportunity; you’ll find both men and women enthusias@cally geeng on board.
Good prac0ce
• Hierarchical structure
• Work is a place you go to
• Separation of career and life
• Linear, vertical career paths
• Individual contributor driven
• Tasks define the job
• Many workers are similar
The Corporate Ladder is splintering and the Corporate Lattice is emerging. The differences are...
• Flatter, matrixed structure
• Work is what you do
• Integration of career and life
• Multi-directional career paths
• Team and community driven
• Competencies define the job
• Many workers are different
