Whenever a woman makes it to the top of an organisation, it is assumed that the glass ceiling is a thing of the past. If that would be the case, why are there only 10-15% of women in senior management positions? I totally agree with Brenda.

Clearly it is easy for a man to say this. I imagine he has a stay at home wife that does everything for him and for his children. In order to have successful career in my experience, you have to 'pretend' you do not have children so its clear to management that your 'priority' is your job. Well done Ursula Burns for having made it to the top. Lets hope she is an inspiration and role model for other women.
