Leadership
Giving hard feedback as a new boss without gender blowback
Research shows women leaders face more challenge and less benefit of the doubt; specific, documented, behavior-first feedback lowers the risk.
The current edition
Leadership
Leadership profiles women running teams, companies and organizations: the route to the role, decisions made in it, resistance encountered, and reasons some step away. Coverage includes board representation figures and promotion data. For readers who lead now or intend to, and want candor rather than encouragement.
Profiles of women heading organizations, covering how they reached the role, what they changed, what it cost, and why some of them chose to leave.
Leadership
How to chair meetings that end in decisions
Meetings drift when no one owns the decision; a chair who names the decision, the decider and the deadline can cut meeting time sharply.
Leadership
How women managers run hybrid teams without burning out
Hybrid work raised the coordination load, and research shows it landed unevenly on women managers; structure, not stamina, is the working answer.
Leadership
The path women take to the CFO seat in large companies
Women remain a minority of finance chiefs, and the routes that produce them are narrower and more measurable than the generic advice suggests.
Leadership
Sponsorship versus mentorship and why the difference matters for women
Mentors give advice; sponsors spend their own standing, and the research on who gets which explains part of the promotion gap.
Leadership
How women actually get appointed to corporate boards now
Board recruitment runs on networks, disclosure rules and preparation; the process is more open than it looks, and the entry points are specific.
