Mistakes Even Smart Women Make in the Workplace

According to the Bureau of Labor Statistics today’s workforce majority is female (57.1 %), and about 59% of women hold Bachelor’s degrees.
More women are CEOs of their own or Fortune 500 Companies than ever before. Women CEOs run 10.4% of Fortune 500 companies.
And, women are now dominating formerly male-heavy fields like Financial Analyst, CPA’s and Health Care Administrators.
Great strides, right? So why are so many smart women still struggling to make successful paths for themselves at work? Why have some women catapulted over the gender disparities, while others can’t break through?
