Host Marcia Alvar speaks with Dr. Barbara Mackoff, management psychologist and author of "What Mona Lisa Knew." They discuss the glass ceiling or glass onion, which refers to the limits placed on women in business. Dr. Mackoff points out that the increasing numbers of women in the work force has not been accompanied by a transformation of corporate values or culture. They speak of the unfulfilling nature of upper management jobs and the need for women to keep a sense of humor when working closely with men. Dr. Mackoff hopes of a change in work roles that would reflect appreciation for feminine attributes.
