'Just because' what? You're asking for 'more women excelling in the field' but promoting somebody just because isn't going to make them excel.
If, on the other hand, brilliant women were not being promoted 'just because' that would suggest a problem. But is this so?
- geofft 10y agoMost of the people I've worked with who have been given promotions have been given promotions "just because," i.e., they've been there for a while, they seem to do good work, and more work needs to be done. See also McKinsey's finding: "Several diversity officers and experts told us that despite their best efforts, women are often evaluated for promotions primarily on performance, while men are often promoted on potential." https://www.mckinsey.com/womenineconomy https://www.mckinsey.com/womenineconomy (PDF)
