(NECN) - Marissa Mayer, a Google executive and mom-to-be, was just named the new CEO of Yahoo!, but does this mean a change for the so-called "mommy track"?
Lauren Stiller Rikleen, president of the Rikleen Institute for Strategic Leadership and executive-in-resident at the Boston College Center for Work & Family, joins Broadside to take a second look.
"The false narrative here is the focus on Marissa Mayer's pregnancy as the incoming CEO of Yahoo!, as though that is a particularly big deal under the circumstances," said Rikleen.
Rikleen argues that Mayer's status as a CEO means that she will not have to worry about what many women worry about when it comes to raising a family, including juggling schedules in order to do housework and cooking.
