Someone recently made a comment that women in senior leadership are there because they basically act like men. I thought it was interesting… is that how we end up having to act in order to have them accept us? Thoughts?

What made them say that women in leadership act like men? I am curious to know which part looked like that. I think some people will only accept their traditional ways, so doesn't;t matter what we do, they see what they want to see.

I wouldn't say so at all! The woman leader in our team is a proper girly girl, but she is so good at her job that everyone has crazy respect for her. She listens to Taylor Swift 24/7 and has a pink sparkly bottle :D So I guess it depends where you work, my place is full of young, very kind hearted people so gender makes no difference

I am saying in my office gender makes no difference, not in general. Everyone is kind and inclusive at my place! I have got lucky. Depends on the personality of the men that are there, hard to find a good bunch

I would say there’s an unconscious bias in older generations that only male qualities are successful in leadership. However, I like to think that we’re evolving past that. I personally know several feminine women in leadership who are successful without having to fit into a male mold.

I work in field sales as an IC. My aspirational career path is to end up in people leadership.

Or should I continue down the field path and wait until those field management slots open up?
