8th of March celebration = Happy International Women’s Day! 💐💐💐 👉 A special and rare Maverick-esque chart: Women in the S&P 500 Leadership trending up with 8.2% of the S&P 500 companies having female CEOs. Also women now hold 33% of board seats, compared to 25% five years ago — a tipping point that may lead to more female CEOs appointments in the future 👉 Warren Buffett, recall the mighty legend's on women’s careers, contribution & role in the workforce: “Start with the fact that our country’s progress since 1776 has been mind-blowing, like nothing the world has ever seen. Our secret sauce has been a political and economic system that unleashes human potential to an extraordinary degree. As a result Americans today enjoy an abundance of goods and services that no one could have dreamed of just a few centuries ago. But that’s not the half of it – or, rather, it’s just about the half of it. USA has forged this success while utilizing, in large part, only half of the country’s talent. For most of our history, women – whatever their abilities – have been relegated to the sidelines. Only in recent years have we begun to correct that problem. When I look at what we have accomplished using half our talent for a couple of centuries, and now I think of doubling the talent that is effectively employed or at least has the chance to be it makes me very optimistic about this country”. N.B. with Warren Buffett passing the torch to Greg Abel after a mighty 6 decade tenure, I am working now on a Maverick Special 2nd report dedicated to Buffett and Berkshire. ✍️ Warren Buffett's Cash Pile, Legacy & More ...
