Changing Luck into Deserving

Abstract

Sees many supervisory and managerial jobs attained by women as the result of luck. Looks at the role of career planning in establishing a structured approach to personal development; links this to the growing requirement for a career break in order to start a family, noting changing attitudes among male colleagues in encouraging such a break. Detects the emergence of greater risk‐taking among younger women and discusses the relevance of career planning to this new generation.
