I have women working in high positions. I was one of the first people to put women in charge of big construction jobs. And, you know, I've had a great relationship with women.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
I always had more women working for me than men.
I work for women. I only think for them. If I didn't like women, I wouldn't do this job.
I have always enjoyed the company of women.
I work with a lot of lovely ladies.
I have a daughter who I love very much, I hire women, I've worked with women, I've never had an issue with women.
All my life, I've been working with male directors, which I've really enjoyed. And I'm lucky in that I've worked with men who have a lot of respect for women. But working with a woman is a different experience. It feels like the communication is different.
Within the U.N. itself, I have appointed a record number of women to high-level positions. I did not fill jobs with women just for the sake of it - I looked for the best possible candidate, and I found that if you strip away discrimination, the best possible candidate is often a woman.
I believe that I can do more for women by being the best at what I do in the role that I have than going out and just talking about how women are awesome and you shouldn't mess with them.
I have worked for a lot of really great leaders and mentors that I felt provided me, along with many of my peers - many of them women - opportunities.
I have never worked for a woman, and I have never worked with a lot of women.
