Only 10 per cent of young Canadians picture a woman when they think of a CEO: surveyA new survey examining young Canadians' views on leadership says only 10 per cent picture a woman when they think of a CEO. Good!! except on netflix where every CEO is a woman and a minority and often gender fluid. not propaganda much. like CTV and their fake news. Why is this news worthy? CEOs work an average of over 12 hours a day in the work week. Holding on to a job like that would be detrimental to any sort of healthy family unit for a woman or man.
