Emphasize that diversity is a valid—and valuable—goal for business.
Introduce diversity initiatives and policies.
Expand recruitment.
Encourage women to speak out (lean in) and pursue leadership roles.
Recognize what motivates women (and incentivize it).
Foster mentors and role models.
And much, much more.
