"Women are too emotional"
Notas del episodio
This week, Rae and Natalie are asking a question we all have secretly asked ourselves: Are women too emotional?
Women have been labeled for centuries: “Too emotional. Too aggressive. Too bossy.” The generations-old stereotype that women are more emotional than men or even too emotional (whatever that means) isn’t just inaccurate, it’s harmful.
After surveying 137 leader-report pairs in Europe during the COVID-19 pandemic, a study reported by Harvard Business Review found that women, despite higher anxiety levels, were less likely than men to let their emotions impact their leadership negatively.
It makes sense when you consider the fact that women have traditionally been socialized to prioritize everyone else before themselves. We’re really good at making sure everyone else is fine, and as a leader, starting from a place of empathy is powerful.
