He has announced his Presidential Transition Team, which includes his daughter Ivanka, and three other women out of a total of approximately 25 or so.<\/p>\n<p>The world already knows that Donald J Trump is fond of women, overly fond in some cases, but only if they meet his criteria (based almost solely on age, looks and weight), so it\u2019s probably no surprise that women aren\u2019t present in vast numbers in his closest team. Women in business in Trump\u2019s eyes are surely merely decorative. I\u2019ve read that Trumps actually values women workers, but some of the facts would dispute this.<\/p>\n<p>For example, following the release of the appalling video clearly showing Trump\u2019s sexist remarks in 2005, and ongoing <strong><a href=\"http:\/\/www.usatoday.com\/story\/news\/politics\/elections\/2016\/06\/09\/donald-trump-unpaid-bills-republican-president-laswuits\/85297274\/\" target=\"_blank\">USA TODAY<\/a> <\/strong>investigation, has outlined 4000 lawsuits that are pending against him. Many of these are because he and his company have maintained a culture that mistreated women. According to <strong>USA TODAY<\/strong>, \u201cAllegations outlined in at least 20 separate lawsuits accuse Trump and managers at his companies of discriminating against women, ignoring sexual harassment complaints and even participating in the harassment themselves.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>But here in the UK, let\u2019s not feel smug and complacent. Women still only make up seven out of 100 bosses heading up the companies on the London Stock Exchange.<\/p>\n<p>Women face being denigrated and overlooked every day in both the UK and the USA. It\u2019s astounding that the glass ceiling is still in place in the twenty-first century and yet it is. Yes, a handful of women make it to the top, but many are forced to fall by the wayside. <\/p>\n<p>If you\u2019re looking for inspiration, in celebration of the women in business who do get to the top, I\u2019ve compiled a short list of the go-getters and the getting-there. Remember these examples aren\u2019t just business women who got to the top, they are superb business people. We can all learn from them, no matter whether we\u2019re male or female or some shade in between.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Helen Parker<\/strong><br \/>\nHelen Parker is the Chief Exec of Bid on This, and the CEO of Wholesale Forums.
