Something I can't say I miss about being in the US is people expecting me to be nice to them in a certain why because I'm in Asian woman. That being said, I care deeply about elevating women everywhere and the need for senior staff to stand up for talented employees even if they don't conform to the boxes set by their societies. "For example, because female leaders have a more limited range of behaviors that are deemed to be acceptable (for example, they must be warm and competent), they receive significantly more commentary on their interpersonal skills in their performance evaluations than do men. Evaluators might acknowledge that a woman performs at a high level, but still rate her as lacking leadership potential. Combining gender with race or ethnicity complicates the picture further. For example, Black women are not penalized to the same degree as white women for behaving dominantly, and East Asian American women are disliked more than white American women when they behave assertively. Finally, women and racial minorities are more likely to raise concerns about diversity, equity, and inclusion, but are also rated lower in leadership quality for doing so than are men and white individuals. Regardless of the precise underlying reason, the outcome is clear: Women and racial minority employees are more likely to be criticized for their interpersonal leadership. When such criticisms are levied, it’s critical for female leaders and leaders of color to have people willing to sponsor them by defending them to others." #internationalwomensday #iwd https://lnkd.in/gY6_6iNP
