		<description><![CDATA[With so many organizations competing for the women of the world, trying to get them to take notice and join up with them (instead of their competitors) I've noticed something disturbing:  It's not working.  Though some have enjoyed moderate success at upping the numbers of female leaders on the payroll - too many (far too many) are struggling.  As of April, only 15 of the Fortune 500 were led by women CEOs. That's just .03%? - Pathetic.  I think - and bear with me here - that I have identified the primary reason that so many of us long to achievie gender balance on our teams.  Ready?  Here it is:  We keep trying to treat women as equals.....huge mistake. Now I've heard all the arguments: “a woman can do anything a man can do.” and, “women are just as good at men in the workplace.” But it never quite registered with me as the right approach.
