Myth: Good leadership is masculine leadership


Listen Later

What makes a good leader? When you hear this question, do you think about traits like assertiveness, ambition, and determination?  

A lot of people may be surprised to realize that as a society, we often associate good leadership with stereotypically masculine traits. In fact, a range of different traits—including both stereotypically masculine and feminine traits—make effective leaders. This episode delves into the myth that good leadership is masculine leadership and explores how we can facilitate more diverse and representative leaders across our workplaces and our societies.
