About the Ebook

Why are men still winning at work?

If women have equal leadership ability, why are they so under-represented at the top in business and society?

Why are we still living in a man's world? And why do we accept it?

In this provocative book, Gill Whitty-Collins looks beyond the facts and figures on gender bias and uncovers the invisible discrimination that continues to sabotage us in the workplace and limits our shared success. Addressing both men and women and pulling no punches, she sets out the psychology of gender diversity from the perspective of real personal experience and shares her powerful insights on how to tackle the gender equality issue.

About the Author

GILL WHITTY-COLLINS spent 26 years with Procter & Gamble, latterly as Vice-President running leading brands such as Olay and Pantene. She was born near Liverpool, to a Scouse Catholic working-class family, as the youngest of three sisters. A love of language and steely determination took Gill to study Modern & Medieval Languages at Selwyn College, Cambridge University. After graduating and with a young son in tow, she joined P&G’s marketing department and quickly progressed through the ranks.

Gill thrived in the highly competitive business environment, until she reached the senior VP level and began to see and experience gender diversity issues as she moved away from the 50:50 split to a 80:20 one (men:women). It was then she began to be affected – and saw others negatively affected and defeated by – gender diversity problems. She now strives to drive gender equality and diversity in business and our society.
