Network Health Mapping. How to Track, Manage & Use Your Network as a Female Founder
Men's leadership success is predicted by centrality in their wider network alone.
Women's success requires both centrality AND an inner circle of close female contacts.
This paper, Yang, Chawla and Uzzi (2019) in PNAS — "A network's gender composition and communication pattern predict women's leadership success"
Shows that women operating inside conventional hierarchical structures are systematically disadvantaged compared to men with the same centrality, because they lack the second piece, the inner circle.
