EP 3: What’s a mommy manager and is it a bad thing?

44 minutes

In episode 3 of The Corporate Sellouts Podcast, co-hosts Taylor & Tori dig deep in the HBR archives to discuss how gender bias impacts how we perceive leaders. We discuss the paradox of competence vs. confidence and why traditionally masculine characteristics are favored in the corporate world.

Questions we answer in today’s episode:

Why are there so many incompetent leaders (in general)?

What makes a good leader? Is it power or empathy or something in between?

Have we improved as a society since this article was written? Is the “Lean In”/girlboss era over?

Resources Discussed:

Why do so many incompetent men become leaders? - Tomas Chamorro Premuzic HBR (2013)

Beware the “Mommy Manager Syndrome” - Judith Shervin, LinkedIn (2014)
