Why Do So Many Incompetent Men Become Leaders?

hbr.org/2013/08/why-do-so-many

Harvard Business Review · Why Do So Many Incompetent Men Become Leaders?Why are so few women in management positions? The popular explanations range from women just aren’t capable of being leaders to women just don’t want to be leaders. According to the author, however, the absence of women in leadership roles has less to do with women themselves and more to do with how we interpret leadership traits. Confidence – a trait more associated with men – is often misinterpreted as competence. As a result, charismatic, but incompetent men have fewer barriers to reach the top than women. Individuals in positions to promote and hire managers should think more critically about what seems like a leadership trait versus what is an actual leadership trait. They will find that arrogance and overconfidence – the characteristics that get men into management positions – are also the characteristics that cause poor performance.

@SheDrivesMobility „But a much bigger problem is the lack of career obstacles for incompetent men […] The result is a pathological system that rewards men for their incompetence while punishing women for their competence, to everybody’s detriment.“ 💯
