As Einstein put it, "We cannot solve our problems with the same thinking we used when we created them."
There is solid evidence from the McKinsey and Catalyst studies that Fortune 500 companies with three or more women on their Boards have substantially better financial returns, including 60 percent greater return on invested capital.On the sustainability side, there are numerous key female leaders who have revolutionized sustainability, from Rachel Carson to Janine Benyus. And one can see the disproportionate number of women leading sustainability initiatives within their companies.Could cultivating "womanly" virtues -- such as collaboration, empathy, and creativity -- in our male leaders, while creating space for more female
leadership, make businesses and societies more sustainable? *
