In fact, the opportunity cost for all male-boards in US, UK and India combined stood at a staggering US $655 billion. They were clearly outperformed by gender diverse boards.

Challenge #1 – Women at top are generally entrusted with non-executive roles. Very few are in-charge of key positions that actually matter
![Page 23: Women on Boards: A move that pays off](https://reader031.fdocuments.us/reader031/viewer/2022020523/579078d71a28ab6874c45262/html5/thumbnails/23.jpg)
Challenge #2 – Quota system of ensuring minimum percentage of female board members has met with criticism from multiple quarters
![Page 24: Women on Boards: A move that pays off](https://reader031.fdocuments.us/reader031/viewer/2022020523/579078d71a28ab6874c45262/html5/thumbnails/24.jpg)
Things that hinder success of quota system include – Lower Percentage earmarked for women leaders, no stringent guidelines and in some cases appointment of under qualified female candidates due to quota pressure

Challenge #3 – Existence of the “Golden Skirts” phenomenon where a single woman occupies multiple board seats due to dearth of required competent talent or due to government mandate. This has been looked down upon by industry experts
![Page 26: Women on Boards: A move that pays off](https://reader031.fdocuments.us/reader031/viewer/2022020523/579078d71a28ab6874c45262/html5/thumbnails/26.jpg)
Challenge #4 – Annual Pay of women has just begun to equal the amount men were earning 10 years ago. Disparity in income for male and female candidates is present across jobs and sectors. This sometimes acts as a discouragement for business women to take up higher responsibilities
![Page 27: Women on Boards: A move that pays off](https://reader031.fdocuments.us/reader031/viewer/2022020523/579078d71a28ab6874c45262/html5/thumbnails/27.jpg)
Challenge #5 – Corporate notion held by many male counterparts that female entrepreneurs cannot do justice to their roles owing to familial responsibilities
![Page 28: Women on Boards: A move that pays off](https://reader031.fdocuments.us/reader031/viewer/2022020523/579078d71a28ab6874c45262/html5/thumbnails/28.jpg)
These challenges deter the momentum of women leadership gaining ground at the board level. However, industry experts be-lieve the scenario is sure to change as more women led success stories come to the forefront.
