Help! I’m dealing with a misogynistic & insecure grown man. He’s very green, condescending, and disrespectful toward the women on our team. Some witnessed his tantrums and talks shit behind people’s backs. Additionally, he does not communicate with the team re: his deliverables, only with our F manager. I believe he’s becoming toxic to the team. I’m lead on a certain project and he does not provide me updates. I hate to CC my manager in everything, but do I let him fail or hound him for info?

Document everything. Speak to your manager if he’s causing issues that impede the project. I would have no qualms cc my boss on communications and, if asked, truthfully answer why I was doing that (he doesn’t respond if I don’t).

Thank you! I’m concerned with the group and their performance more than anything. He’s just the root of it all. 🥲

Document everything keep cc'ing your manager on everything, I had a former co-worker do this to me. She threw a fit when I would cc my manager. I finally had to bcc my manager on everything, she finally dug her own grave when she went to a meeting and tried to pass off all my work for hers.

I have a direct report who is smart, passionate about her job and can be really innovative. However she carries this enormous weight of responsibility, for needing to do everything, do it right, make sure it's perfect, not trusting colleagues to help. It creates dread and panic and overwhelming workload and a terrible attitude for her and I am speaking with her this week to start to shift her mindset. Any tips in navigating how to let go of this heavy idea of "responsibility"?

I’m a new analyst at a PE firm, and my associate keeps blaming me for things she does wrong. Like she will tell me I made the wrong change, even though she is the one who changed it. Or in calls with other people, she won’t take responsibility for things that she told me to do that the other person calls out as wrong. How can I handle this situation without making her mad but also not letting her step all over me?

How do you deal with your “mentor” being threatened by your performance and gatekeeping information from you?

Now that I know I’m not “crazy” for thinking this, how should I approach this?

DE&I is now a core leadership competency. If you are managing diverse talent, it’s important to understand what the term “privilege” means within a DE&I context so you can lead your team to higher levels of inclusivity+develop optimal strategies for solutioning around team issues/challenges. Everyone has some aspect of privilege depending upon the context. Privilege means the absence of obstacles/barriers, not necessarily the presence of perks. Though some would say *that* itself is a perk.
