It may be as true for Marissa Mayer and Yahoo as it was for John Keats, Francis Bacon and the sonnet form: We make structuraldecisions not on the basis of overcoming or eliminating constraints, but on the careful, conscious choice of constraints.
We believe we make purely personal decisions when there are structural deficiencies in the workplace that are no longer either effective or efficient for either men or women.
Transparency and accountability are critical walls of a governance foundation that not only supports sound pay decisions but also adds structural integrity to the process of discussing compensation with stakeholders.
