Lack of experience, primary caregiver responsibilities, bargaining style, and plain old discrimination all help to explain the gender gap. Traditional career paths, and the cultural norms that constructed and reinforced them, simply have not enabled women to gain the skills required for top leadership positions in many organizational contexts.
因为女性缺乏经验，其首要角色是看护者，其谈判风格尚不为人所接受，且旧歧视顽固不化，这些都能解释性别差异。传统职业道路及其形成和加强的文化范式使得女性无法在组织环境中获得最高领导职位所必须的技能。
