There's a cliché that women aren't as competitive as men and that's why there is a wage gap. Well, a new study shows that isn't true -- but the conditions of the competition have to be different.

"Researchers found that women enter competitions at the same rate as men -- when they have the option to share their winnings with the losers," an overview explained.

"Women might be more attracted to positions where there is this social component that isn't there in more traditional, incentive-based firms where it's all about CEO bonuses," noted Mary L. Rigdon, associate director of the UArizona Center for the Philosophy of Freedom, who helped conduct the study.

It seems as if a lot of corporations are beginning to take that social component seriously, and I am very ready for the next gen of female leadership this shift will hopefully produce!
