Document Summary
Golf is the sport of business and if women expect to exist and thrive in that environment, they ve got to be able to play. I ve had women come to me and say that they have been offered partnerships or vice-presidencies conditional on their learning golf. Most common leisure activity among senior executive women: golf. Most cited reason for playing: networking with the right people. Advantage in salary of women executives with a 10 handicap or lower over non- golfing male colleagues with similar jobs: + 000. It s not just the words you use or the jokes you tell. Women miss out on that networking time because men routinely don t include them. Women who work up the ranks, do not tend to reach down and help other women. Studies 2 3: the net gender gap approach to promotions. Study 4: variation on the gender interaction approach to promotions.
