Scarcity of persons with disability at the management level in organizations

How can we improve the representation of individuals with disabilities in leadership positions within companies and organizations?

I think job shadowing would help. Here, leaders in the organizations can mentor persons with disabilities and encourage them to take up positions even in the C-suite levels. This means accompanying the leaders to meetings and also involving them in decision making. Just like Kirubi mentored James Mworia to take up the leadership of Centum😄

That can really help, very few are on top to lobby for enactment of some laws

This can truly help. But I feel why we see less of persons with disability in management its because we are still yet to achieve the absorption percentage of 10%. With less numbers of us into the jobs it means it will feel like even less of us get to feature in the management ranks. I believe with time when our numbers have increased into jobs, we might get to see a change in this.
