"Companies" are too big to make macro changes just because they want to. It is up to individual leaders like us to educate ourselves on potential inherent biases like these so that we can take a step back and truly scrutinize how best to shape our team and who to promote. Nobody can solve the world's troubles all at once, and you can't control what others do. But you can control what you do and put out as much good as you can. Just make sure you are being truly fair and impartial - sometimes it's not bias that causes people to be held back, it's truly their personal capabilities

I'm sure those biases exist, and I can think of a few examples, as I imagine anyone could. But all we can do is address it at our own company, or even in our own departments. The thing about stereotypes is that once they take hold it's difficult to shake them, so it's good to make a conscious effort to be sure to treat people fairly.

I started a new job as an “office manager” at the end of January. The duties seem to align more with those of an EA, and I’m ok with that. Except my boss is a control freak. He scolds me over every little thing, how I load the dishwasher, maybe I didn’t push my chair in. Last week he told me I needed to work on my appearance. I was shocked. I bought all new clothes from Ann Taylor that are perfectly acceptable for business casual. He hates me. Move on ASAP or try to stick it out ?

"Everybody can be a leader" some say... "Leaders are nurtured not born" say others... True.

But... this is also true: "not everybody wants to be a leader" (whether they can or can't be). It is a fairly common practice in organizations with traditional career management structures for people to "be promoted" into leadership roles as the "end steps of the corporate ladder" that was climbed doing technical work. And, unfortunately, this doesn't work all the time

Hi everyone!

After years of hard work, I just got my first position in a leadership role! Yay! I’ll be leading a team of 12.
I wanted to know if you had any tips for me, things you wish you knew before, or things previous leaders did for/to you that you found admirable or stayed with you. I want to make sure I’m there for them and want to be a leader they will remember positively.

Thank you so much!!
