If I could tell a male manager three things about how to manage your female staff, here’s what I’d say
If I could tell a male manager three things about how to manage your female staff, here’s what I’d say
-
Ask, don’t assume – just because your wife/mother/sister didn’t necessarily want to be known as ambitious, doesn’t mean I don’t
-
Just because you haven’t seen a woman being put down, or experienced it yourself, doesn’t mean it doesn’t happen.
-
Just because she gets tears in her eyes doesn’t make her not great leadership material. In fact, it makes her human.
It’s tough being a career minded woman even in 2020. Women are still pigeon holed, put down or sidelined because of their gender in many organisations.
Double standards abound. When Prince Harry holds the baby, the world goes gaga. Yet when Megan holds the baby, the world critiques her holding technique!!!
Add the COVID meltdown into the mix, where women are losing roles at 4 x the rate of men and unconscious bias is a distraction we really don’t need.
The world desperately needs smart women leading, and men to listen to, and champion, women putting forward new ideas and innovative solutions.
Women definitely do it differently and different is the competitive advantage
YOUR THOUGHTS? What’s your pet peeve when it comes to assumptions?
