Women Say Yes to Advancement but No to the C-Suite

Although about the same proportion of midlevel female and male managers say they'd like to advance to higher levels in their companies (69% and 74%, respectively), only 18% of women say they'd become C-level leaders "if anything were possible." That's just half the proportion of men, according to a McKinsey study of 60 leading companies. Numerous women said they were put off by the corporate politics of the C-suite.
