Each week we have two content segments—the weekly commentary (which we call the "High Horse"), and the weekly tips for practice (which we call "Making It Real").

Making It Real: Female Bosses

August 11, 2011 | Posted in: General

As much as we’d like to deny it, were all sexist.  Every man, every woman among us.  This week, take an honest look at how your own sexism plays out in your work life.  For example, think about your female colleagues – in what ways would you regard them differently if they were male?  How do your expectations of your female colleagues compare with your expectations of your male colleagues? If your boss were the other gender, what difference would that make to you and your working relationship?

And once you’ve answered those questions for yourself, have a chat with a colleague or three about them – especially someone of the opposite gender.
