Preface to Special Women Worth Watching Feature
By Steven L. Miller
 
Steven L. Miller, retired chairman of the board of directors, president and CEO of Shell Oil Company (1999 to 2002), serves as Honorary Chair of the PDJ Advisory Board. Mr. Miller believes the phenomenal number of women featured in this year’s issue indicates that “we are making real progress, in gender diversity at senior levels.” He suggests that celebrating and learning from these women exemplifying gender diversity traction will speed the progress of diversity from other sectors.
 
Catalyst
The Bottom Line
Catalyst’s groundbreaking research confirms that companies recruiting, retaining, and advancing women will have a competitive advantage in the global marketplace. Not only did companies with the highest representation of women on their top management teams have better financial performance than companies with the lowest women’s representation, companies with the highest women’s representation on their top management teams experienced a higher ROE than companies with the lowest women’s representation. Notably, Catalyst Award-winning companies financially outperformed the 339 other companies in the sampling.
