Russell Reynolds podcast
Gender bias is everywhere, impacting how we view authority and power around the world. In fact, it’s so pervasive — and potentially damaging to organizations — that our guest Mary Ann Sieghart wrote a book about it titled The Authority Gap, which explores the critical issue of why women are often taken less seriously than men. This unconscious, double standard behavior affects the C Suite, boardrooms, and conference rooms alike — even the US Supreme Court and UK Parliament. We talk with Mary Ann – journalist, author, consultant, non-executive director, and television broadcaster – about why organizations and boards need to change gender bias culture and how to make the critical shift from the top down. It’s a thought-provoking conversation well worth the listen for leaders of any gender.
