Fewer than 5% of CEOs at Fortune 500 companies are women, according to Pew Research. But lack of female representation at the senior level isn’t limited to America’s biggest companies. Overall, just one in five C-level executives is a woman, according to a 2017 McKinsey study. This despite multiple studies suggesting that more diverse companies enjoy better financial returns. If you’re not encouraging (and teaching) your female employees to become leaders, you’re going to...

A century and a half ago, when a person wanted to be remembered (what marketers today call “being top of mind”), it was customary to leave a card whenever one went out “calling.” In those days, you couldn’t pick up a phone and call your friends or send them an email to check in. You personally visited the homes of friends, family, and social peers; you would leave a calling card if the person wasn’t home. A calling card was similar to a business card. It displayed the...
