"I'm surprised that they're making as much progress as they are, " says Erica O'Malley, a partner at Grant Thornton。

格兰特桑顿会计师事务所合伙人艾丽卡奥马利说：“这些国家取得这么大的进步让我感到意外。”

How are these nations making such progress?

它们是怎样取得这样的进步呢?

First off, national cultures that may appear conservative on the surface are in fact more complex. In a 2012 paper called "Cultural constraints on the emergence of women as leaders, " authors Geoffrey Leonardelli and Soo Min Toh, both associate professors at the University of Toronto, explore the effects of cultural rigidity related to female leadership. So-called '"tight" cultures punish members of the group from deviating from cultural norms. In general, culturally inflexible countries do not support women leaders。

首先，表面上看似保守的国家文化实际上更加复杂。2012年，多伦多大学(University of Toronto)两位副教授杰弗里莱昂纳尔德利和苏敏窦发表了一篇论文，题为《文化对女性成为领导者的制约》(Cultural constraints on the emergence of women as leaders)。文中探讨了文化成见对女性发挥领导作用的影响。他们指出，所谓的“紧绷型”文化会对偏离常态的成员进行惩罚。总的来说，文化弹性较低的国家都不支持女性成为领导者。
