The article by Pollock addresses issues many of us have experienced in our careers. Whether it is a school, workplace or social event women are becoming more present in such and more importantly comfortable. Pollock explains that in recent years the number of women holding professional positions has increased by 14.6 percent. Women are becoming a driving force in every industry. Many current CEOs are very successful women and they are a great example for new generations. I am not quite sure how they got there, but I am sure they did not get there by flirting. Flirting is just human nature and both men and women engage in it. Since businesses are still dominated by men it can be easily misunderstood what women do. The professional world is evolving fast and the more diversity a company has results in a more creative environment and more innovation. Creativity and innovation are necessary to be successful. The stereotypes about women staying home and taking care of the house and kids may have been valid a long time ago, but it is no longer applicable. Most households cannot succeed in raising kids and supporting them through college with only the income of one person. Culture has changed and we now see what has been missing in the workplace.
