RESPECT HIGH HEELS IN THE BOARDROOM

Everything depends on the eye of the beholder. “When I was Managing Director of Hewlett-Packard Norway, I was the first female top manager in the Nordic countries. My youngest daughter was three and a half years old, and we were rushing to get out of the door that morning. I had to meet the Managing Director of Hewlett-Packard Europe. I turn to my daughter and say - we have to hurry cause mum has to meet Hans, her boss. She stopped what she was doing and said - mum, can boys become bosses? The only boss she knew was me her mother, so she assumed it was a job just for girls.”

Our Norwegian #RoccamoreRebel Anita Krohn Traaseth teaches us that everything is about perspective. Do you agree?
