International Women\u2019s Day: Having the courage to put yourself first<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Dear Colleagues,<\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Something outstanding occurred at the beginning of this year. For the first time in US history, a woman was sworn in to the superpower\u2019s second highest office. It was a win that Kamala Harris, a strong woman with an impressive personality and so much passion for her work, really deserved. It\u2019s great that we\u2019re able to celebrate a female vice president, a woman who\u2019s now made it to the higher echelons. But there\u2019s one question that begs to be asked: why is she the No. 2? Wouldn\u2019t she be an even better choice than Joe Biden? Yes! She possesses the energy, assertiveness and verve. She\u2019s brought new momentum to the world of politics and cares about people. She\u2019s the rock of the party and a beacon of hope for Democrats. But she still wouldn\u2019t have achieved a majority if she\u2019d run for president herself. Why does the enthusiasm for women end precisely at the point when the top spot comes into view? Does the widely discussed glass ceiling actually exist? According to Statista \u00d6sterreich, only eight percent of executive positions were held by women at the beginning of 2020. So the answer to that question is obvious. The facts and figures speak for themselves.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u2018Well, at least she made it to the second highest office\u2019 \u2013 that\u2019s an automatic response that can be heard from both men and women alike. The people around Kamala Harris are happy anyway: programs and a variety of activities for women are being set up, female managers and top executives are being appointed here and there \u2013 which seems to suggest that anything is possible, after all. If only in theory. But it is precisely this way of thinking that we need the courage to stop!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I\u2019d like to encourage all my female colleagues today. It\u2019s not about running a world power. It starts with the supposedly small tasks. I want to say to all women who are asking themselves if they\u2019re good enough for the challenges they\u2019re facing: Rise to the challenge or someone else will \u2013 someone who definitely won\u2019t be asking themselves if they\u2019re good enough!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

And I\u2019d like to encourage all my male colleagues to take the brave decisions that will help break with traditional patterns.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I\u2019d like to end these thoughts by quoting Kamala Harris, who said in her inaugural address, \u201cWhile I am the first woman in this office, I will not be the last one!\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I hope your start to the week is a courageous one,<\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n
