If you ask men why they did a good job, they'll say, 'I'm awesome. Obviously. Why are you even asking?' If you ask women why they did a good job, what they'll say is someone helped them, they got lucky, they worked really hard.
The No. 1 impediment to women succeeding in the workforce is now in the home.
So there's no such thing as work-life balance. There's work, and there's life, and there's no balance.
And what I saw happening is that women don't make one decision to leave the workforce. They makes lots of little decisions really far in advance that kind of inevitably lead them there.
