Female Leadership in the Automotive Industry

Female Leadership in the Automotive Industry Female Leadership in the Automotive Industry The Dodge Charger team is a diverse and high performance group,Chris Barman, Vehicle Line Executive of the E Segment Platform, Chrysler Group LLC said. It is important to recognize this team includes a higher than normal percentage of women in key leadership positions. This diversity is a source of energy, innovation and unconventional perspectives that enable the Dodge Charger to be a very special product. Barman makes a key distinction here.  She points out that Chrysler is not merely hiring a large percentage of women, but also a substantial number of women in leadership positions. As the currently playing movie Made in Dagenham demonstrates, it is not enough to feel among ones peers on the work floor.   Without support from people in leadership positions, workers lack real representation. Corporate leadership often acknowledges the importance of equality, but does not commit to actually placing women and minorities in key executive leadership positions. Recognition and accolades such as these play a small but important role in making a corporate statement of policy.
