Today’s topic and episode is blowing my mind. There are pieces of it that tie into every past season of the Career Foresight podcast as well as providing insight for the future of work.
Saying, “I’m excited,” is an understatement.
I’m going back to my podcasting roots on this episode by focusing the discussion on findings from a research article. In this case, it’s an article from the March-April 2020 edition of the Harvard Business Review.
The article is titled, “What’s Really Holding Women Back? It’s Not What Most People Think.”
It was researched and authored by Robin J. Ely, who is the Diane Doerge Wilson Professor of Business Administration at Harvard Business School and the faculty chair of the HBS Gender Initiative, and Irene Padavic, who is the Mildred and Claude Pepper Distinguished Professor of Sociology at Florida State University.
In this episode I’ll share:
What most people (women, men, business leaders and subordinates alike) believe is keeping women from advancing to positions of powerHow the research and data on this topic disproves that assumption, and what is really derailing women's career trajectories Why we need to broaden our views on the issue of workplace equality and check our biasesYou can find the full show notes here: https://www.jenniferspoelma.com/podcast-feed/gender-inequality-narrative
