Leadership
Tips for
Managers
Join us to Ban Bossy
When it comes to girls and ambition, the pattern is clear: girls are discouraged from leading. When a little
boy asserts himself, he is called a “leader.” Yet when a little girl does the same, she risks being branded
“bossy”—a precursor to words like “aggressive,” “angry,” and “too ambitious” that plague strong female leaders.
Calling girls bossy is one of many things we do to discourage them from leading. It’s no wonder that by
middle school, girls are less interested in leadership roles than boys, a trend that continues into adulthood.
LeanIn.Org is proud to partner with Girl Scouts of
the USA to bring you Ban Bossy, a public service
campaign to encourage leadership and achievement
in girls. With the help of girls’ leadership expert
Rachel Simmons and the Girl Scout Research Institute,
we’ve developed practical tips to help girls flex their
leadership muscles and to offer parents, teachers,
troop leaders, and managers hands-on strategies for
supporting female leadership.
The time to start building female leaders is now. We
hope you’ll join us to Ban Bossy—and to encourage
girls and women to lead.
Women pay for
their success: Success
and likeability are
positively correlated
for men but negatively
correlated for women.1

Gender bias is triggered by these deep-rooted
stereotypes of women and men. As Malcolm
Gladwell explores in Blink, we often rely on
unconscious beliefs and assessments to make
snap decisions—we think without thinking.2
Gender
stereotypes are one of these mental shortcuts;
we use them to filter information to simplify
the world around us. Unfortunately, this often
disadvantages women.
Gender bias leads us to systematically discount
women’s performance. Women receive less credit
for achievements than their male counterparts.3
And successful women are generally less well
liked than successful men.4
As a manager, you have a strong incentive to make
sure that women can succeed in your organization.
In the global war for talent, leveraging the full potential
of the population provides a serious competitive
advantage. Companies with more women in
leadership roles have been shown to perform better.5
The good news is that there are small adjustments
you can make to overcome gender bias on your
team and in your organization. As you do, all
ships will rise.
—Rachel Thomas
Co-founder and president of LeanIn.Org
If you ask a room full of women, “Have you ever been called aggressive or difficult at work?” almost
every hand goes up. If you ask a room full of men the very same question, only a few hands go up. Why
are women and men having such vastly different experiences?
Decades of social science research have taught us what we already know—stereotypes are enormously
self-reinforcing. Men are expected to be assertive, confident, and opinionated, so we welcome their lead-
ership. In contrast, women are expected to be kind, nurturing, and compassionate, so when they lead, they
are going against our expectations. A man who makes a tough decision at work is often seen as decisive,
while a woman who does the same may be seen as impulsive and brash.
Don’t underestimate
bias: One study found
that replacing a woman’s
name on a résumé with
a man’s can increase
her “worthiness of
hire” by 60%.6

1. Push Back on the
“Likeability Penalty”
THE SITUATION >
Women navigate a tightrope between being seen
as competent and being well liked. When a woman
exhibits leadership skills, such as speaking in a direct
style or promoting her ideas, she is often liked less
by her peers. If she is friendly and helpful, her peers
tend to like her but may be less apt to see her
as competent.7
This can have a big impact on a
woman’s career. Ask yourself: Who are you more
likely to support and promote, the man with high
marks across the board or the woman who has
equally high marks but is “just not as well liked”?
THE SOLUTION >
Listen for the language of the likeability penalty.
When a woman is described as “aggressive,” “too
ambitious,” “out for herself,” or “not well liked,”
there’s a good chance this is the penalty in action.
Push the person making the comment for a specific
example of what the woman did. Then ask, “Would
you have the same reaction if a man did the same
thing?” In many cases, the answer will be no, and
you can surface the possibility that gender bias is
the culprit. If they push back, citing that men and
women have the same issues with her, remind
them that we’re all susceptible to bias—women are
more harshly judged by both genders. Finally, it’s
important to remember that you can fall into the
same bias traps; think carefully about your own
response to female coworkers.
Listen for the
language of the
likeability penalty.
WHAT WOMEN CAN DO:
FIND A WORK BUDDY
One way to combat these negative meeting dynamics is
to pair up with another woman and agree to advocate for
each other. You can reinforce her good ideas and ask for
her opinions, and she can do the same for you. When a
woman advocates for another woman, they both benefit.
— Shared by Gina Bianchini, CEO of
Mightybell  co-founder of LeanIn.Org
2. Get Everyone to Sit
at the Table  Participate
THE SITUATION 
Compared to women, men talk more and make
more suggestions in meetings, while women are
interrupted more, given less credit for their ideas,
and have less overall influence.8
If you watch men
and women at the same job level, you will also notice
that more of the men sit in the front and center
seats, while women tend to gravitate toward the
end of the table and edge of the room in meetings—
away from the positions that convey status. Lack
of full participation often undermines outcomes;
but tapping into the skills and expertise of a diverse
group of employees can improve performance.9
THE SOLUTION 
It’s important to make sure everyone speaks up and
is heard. Start by watching where your team sits in
meetings. Make sure women as well as men sit front
and center. Set a precedent that every voice counts
and establish a no interruptions rule to reinforce it.
If a colleague is cut off, interject and say you’d like
to hear her finish; this is good for her and elevates
your leadership. Openly ask women to contribute
to the conversation, and when they do contribute,
acknowledge their contributions by name.

1. Make Résumé Review Gender Blind
Hiring decisions are prone to gender bias, too—remember,
replacing a woman’s name on a résumé with a man’s can
significantly increase her chances of being hired.12
When reviewing
résumés for a job opening, consider making them gender
blind. After a major U.S. symphony introduced a blind audition
process—where musicians played behind a screen—a woman’s
odds of advancing to the next round increased by 50 percent.13
2. Watch “Creating a Level Playing Field”
Watch “Creating a Level Playing Field” by Shelley Correll,
director of Stanford’s Clayman Institute for Gender Research,
to learn six strategies for reducing errors in decision making
and recognizing everyone’s best work. Use the discussion
guide to lead a team conversation on gender bias, or break
into small groups for more exploration and group exercises.

ACTIVITIES
3. Evaluate Performance Fairly
THE SITUATION 
We all understand the importance of fair evaluations,
yet women are evaluated more harshly than men.10
This bias is more pronounced when review criteria
are unclear, and we’re more likely to rely on gut
feelings and personal inferences.11
THE SOLUTION 
Awareness begets fairness. Make sure everyone
on your team is aware of the gender bias in
evaluating performance. Work with your team to
set expectations up front. Be specific about what
constitutes excellent performance, and make sure
goals are understood and measurable. The clearer
your criteria are, the better. Ask team members
to explain their evaluations—and ask the same of
yourself. When we’re accountable for our decisions,
we’re more motivated to think through them carefully.
#BANBOSSY banbossy.com girlscouts.org/banbossy

Awareness
begets
fairness.
WHAT WOMEN CAN DO:
OWN YOUR SUCCESS
So often we deflect praise with
a self-deprecating comment like
“I got lucky” or “It was nothing.”
What a missed opportunity! Praise
can be hard to come by and goes
a long way toward establishing
your credibility. If nothing else,
smile and say, “Thank you.”
In two simple words, you’ve
owned your accomplishment and
communicated your appreciation.
—Shared by Roxane Divol, senior vice
president of partner alliances, Symantec
4. Give Women Credit
THE SITUATION 
Ask a man to explain his success and he’ll typically
point to his innate qualities and skills. Ask a
woman and she’ll likely attribute her success
to external factors, insisting she did well because
she “worked really hard,” “got lucky,” or “had help
from others.”14
And it’s not just women who are
tough on themselves. All of us discount women’s
achievements. Women also get less credit than
their male counterparts for their role in team
accomplishments.15
THE SOLUTION 
Make sure women get the credit they deserve and
look for opportunities to celebrate their success.
Help women identify their own success on a regular
basis with questions like “What progress have you
made since we last spoke?” or “What are you most
proud of this month?” Keep a running record of
their responses and have them to do the same.

5. Pay Women Fairly
THE SITUATION 
Even if you adjust for number of hours worked,
on average women are paid less than men.16
Yet
fair compensation makes good business sense—
it can protect organizations from reputation
risks and can increase employee motivation.17
THE SOLUTION 
Audit compensation across your team. Are
women getting paid as much as men at the
same level? Remember, fair pay begins with
evaluating performance correctly and giving
everyone full credit for their contributions.

DID YOU KNOW?
The wage gap starts right
out of school: A recent study
found that women in their first
year out of college were paid
82 cents for every dollar
paid to their male peers.18
6. Encourage Women to Negotiate
THE SITUATION 
Women are less likely to negotiate, often because
they are concerned they’ll be viewed unfavorably.
They are right to worry. We expect men to advocate
on their own behalf and be rewarded for their
accomplishments, so there’s little downside for
them when they negotiate, even fiercely. In contrast,
we expect women to be communal and collaborative,
so when they negotiate or advocate for themselves,
we often react unfavorably.19
Of course it follows
that women are less likely to receive equal pay
if they don’t negotiate actively.
THE SOLUTION 
Communicate to all the members of your team—
especially the women—that it’s important for
them to ask for what they deserve. Research shows
that women will negotiate at comparable rates to
men when given explicit permission.20
In addition,
remember we’re all prone to penalize women when
they negotiate. Be conscious of this dynamic and
correct for it; you’ll set a good example for others.
#BANBOSSY banbossy.com girlscouts.org/banbossy
9
WHAT WOMEN CAN DO:
NEGOTIATE—BUT DO IT EFFECTIVELY!
First and foremost, you need to negotiate—you
won’t get what you don’t ask for. And when you do
negotiate, understand the gender stereotypes you
are fighting against and educate yourself about how
to do so effectively. Use communal language, since
women get better outcomes when they emphasize
a concern for organizational relationships.23
For
example, you can say, “My team exceeded all our
goals this year. We all deserve to be rewarded for
our accomplishments, including me.” Another way
to demonstrate a connection to others is to ground
the negotiation in gender pay issues: “Given that
women are paid less than men across the board,
we would both be disappointed if I didn’t negotiate
for myself.” Watch Stanford professor Margaret Neale’s
lecture at leanin.org/education/negotiation for other
strategies to prepare for your next negotiation.
DID YOU KNOW?
Gender differences in the
willingness to negotiate contribute
to the underrepresentation of women
at the top. According to one study,
employees who negotiate are
promoted 17 months more quickly.22
DID YOU KNOW?
Studies show that women
negotiate as effectively as
men on someone else’s behalf,
when their advocacy does
not appear self-serving.21
Audit Your Team’s Project Work
Make a list of the most common types of mission-critical
and service work your team does. Service work can be
anything from organizing birthday gifts to taking recruits
out to dinner. Then evaluate who is doing what. If the
women on your team are disproportionately doing
service work, make adjustments.
ACTIVITY
7. Distribute Work Equally
THE SITUATION 
A majority of women end up in support roles, but
line roles with PL responsibility more often lead to
senior leadership positions.24
Women also tend to
take on more service work (e.g., organizing events,
training new hires, running team-building programs),
leaving less time for mission-critical work.25
Whether
women volunteer for these duties or are just
expected to take them on, service work rarely gets
someone noticed and promoted. When women are
asked a favor at work, they earn almost no social
capital for saying yes and are penalized for saying
no. Men, on the other hand, gain points for saying
yes and face minimal fallout for saying no.26
Over
time, these dynamics can have a serious impact
on a woman’s career trajectory.
THE SOLUTION 
Audit who’s doing service work and make sure it’s
distributed equally. Pay attention to who volunteers
and what they volunteer for. Talk to the people
who don’t volunteer for high-profile assignments
to understand what’s holding them back—high
workload, lack of interest, fear they won’t deliver—
and help them work through their concerns.
#BANBOSSY banbossy.com girlscouts.org/banbossy

WHAT WOMEN CAN DO:
USE THE STRATEGIC NO
Volunteer for stretch projects that will
enhance your career. Then when people
ask you to take on undervalued work,
use what I call the strategic no. Simply
say, “I’m working with Jim on a project
that will open the door to an important
new client base, but this would be a
perfect stretch assignment for X down
the hall.” This way you can dodge the
project while communicating you’re a
good team player.
— Shared by Joan C. Williams, co-author of
What Works for Women at Work
DID YOU KNOW?
Two-thirds of executive women
in Fortune 200 companies are
in support roles, such as HR and
communications, but line roles
with PL responsibility more
often lead to the C-suite.27
8. Encourage Women to
Pursue Opportunities
THE SITUATION 
Women tend to underestimate their skills and take
fewer risks than men.28
As a result, they may be
more hesitant to ask for high-profile projects or
apply for new opportunities.29
Even when women
have the desire, they don’t always have the flexibility
and support to go for it. This has a huge impact
on who ends up in leadership roles.
THE SOLUTION 
Push back when a woman says she’s “not ready”
or “not qualified.” Remind her what she’s already
accomplished and how quickly she’s progressing.
In addition, make it easier for her—and everyone
on your team—to reach for opportunities and still
meet family responsibilities. Support and encourage
flexibility for everyone. Make it clear you value
results over face time and actively serve as a good
role model. If you talk openly about leaving early
for your son’s game, you signal to everyone that
it’s okay to make time for family.

11
DID YOU KNOW?
Women are more likely than
men to suffer from the impostor
syndrome, a phenomenon that
plagues people with self-doubt.
Despite external evidence of
their competence, they
feel like frauds.31
DID YOU KNOW?
Research shows that men
apply for jobs when they
meet 60% of the criteria, while
women wait until they feel
they meet 100% of
the criteria.30
9. Let Your Team Know You’ll
Support Them Through Pregnancy
THE SITUATION 
Companies lose talented women during their
childbearing years—one study found that more than
40 percent of highly qualified women with children
choose to “off-ramp,”32
and more than a quarter
of them never rejoin the workforce.33
As a result,
organizations incur significant expense recruiting
and onboarding new employees and lose valuable
institutional knowledge and connections.34
THE SOLUTION 
It’s not illegal to talk about pregnancy, only to
discriminate based on it.35
Let the women—and
men—on your team know you’ll support their
decision to start a family. Offer to talk to them if
and when they’re ready. They may not take you up
on it, but they’ll feel supported knowing your door
is open. Be explicit that you are asking so you can
help them—for example, assure them you won’t
start giving away the best assignments and that
their jobs will be waiting for them on their return.
#BANBOSSY banbossy.com girlscouts.org/banbossy

Learn How to Talk About Pregnancy
Read Skadden, Arps, Slate, Meagher 
Flom’s guidelines for talking to women
about pregnancy within the framework
of the law. Go to leanin.org/talking-
about-pregnancy-at-work.
ACTIVITY
10. Mentor  Sponsor Women
THE SITUATION 
Mentorship and sponsorship are key drivers of
success, yet women can have a harder time finding
mentors and sponsors, especially those with lots
of influence.36
Mentoring relationships often form
between individuals with common interests.37
Men
end up gravitating toward other men, and since
there are more men in senior roles, women miss out.38
Moreover, junior women and senior men often avoid
mentoring relationships out of concern that a close
relationship—or even time spent together—will
look inappropriate.39
THE SOLUTION 
We need more male managers to mentor and
sponsor junior women, and we should reward them
when they do. Establish formal mentorship and
sponsorship programs. Encourage informal
interactions between the women and men on your
team—personal connections lead to relationships
that can propel careers. Finally, look for ways to
make access to managers equal.
#BANBOSSY banbossy.com girlscouts.org/banbossy
13
WHAT WOMEN CAN DO:
1. FOCUS ON AUTHENTIC CONNECTIONS
Too many young women start with, “Will you be my
mentor?” That’s an awfully big ask. More specific and
thoughtful questions are more effective—for example,
“I researched Competitor X and wonder why we don’t
compare our product features to theirs. Do you have a few
minutes to discuss?” I always feel compelled to spend a
few minutes answering, and over time these quick exchanges
lead to a deeper relationship that I feel invested in.
—Shared by Heather S. Burgess, associate director, Procter  Gamble
2. START A CIRCLE
Finding a mentor can be difficult, but peers can be just as
effective at offering guidance. This is the power of Lean In
Circles. These small self-organizing groups meet regularly
to harness the experience and creativity of all their members.
Research shows that people are more confident and are able
to learn and accomplish more in groups.41
Start or join your
own Circle today at leanin.org/circles, and invite men to join
the conversation too.
DID YOU KNOW?
According to a recent report,
almost two-thirds of male
executives are hesitant to have
one-on-one meetings with
a more junior woman.40

BanBossy - Leadership tips for managers

  • 1. Brought to you by LeanIn.Org & Girl Scouts of the USA Leadership Tips for Managers
  • 2. Join us to Ban Bossy When it comes to girls and ambition, the pattern is clear: girls are discouraged from leading. When a little boy asserts himself, he is called a “leader.” Yet when a little girl does the same, she risks being branded “bossy”—a precursor to words like “aggressive,” “angry,” and “too ambitious” that plague strong female leaders. Calling girls bossy is one of many things we do to discourage them from leading. It’s no wonder that by middle school, girls are less interested in leadership roles than boys, a trend that continues into adulthood. LeanIn.Org is proud to partner with Girl Scouts of the USA to bring you Ban Bossy, a public service campaign to encourage leadership and achievement in girls. With the help of girls’ leadership expert Rachel Simmons and the Girl Scout Research Institute, we’ve developed practical tips to help girls flex their leadership muscles and to offer parents, teachers, troop leaders, and managers hands-on strategies for supporting female leadership. The time to start building female leaders is now. We hope you’ll join us to Ban Bossy—and to encourage girls and women to lead. Women pay for their success: Success and likeability are positively correlated for men but negatively correlated for women.1 #BANBOSSY banbossy.com girlscouts.org/banbossy 2 Post “I will #banbossy” to your social media channels and visit banbossy.com to take the pledge and learn more.

  • 3. Gender bias is triggered by these deep-rooted stereotypes of women and men. As Malcolm Gladwell explores in Blink, we often rely on unconscious beliefs and assessments to make snap decisions—we think without thinking.2 Gender stereotypes are one of these mental shortcuts; we use them to filter information to simplify the world around us. Unfortunately, this often disadvantages women. Gender bias leads us to systematically discount women’s performance. Women receive less credit for achievements than their male counterparts.3 And successful women are generally less well liked than successful men.4 As a manager, you have a strong incentive to make sure that women can succeed in your organization. In the global war for talent, leveraging the full potential of the population provides a serious competitive advantage. Companies with more women in leadership roles have been shown to perform better.5 The good news is that there are small adjustments you can make to overcome gender bias on your team and in your organization. As you do, all ships will rise. —Rachel Thomas Co-founder and president of LeanIn.Org If you ask a room full of women, “Have you ever been called aggressive or difficult at work?” almost every hand goes up. If you ask a room full of men the very same question, only a few hands go up. Why are women and men having such vastly different experiences? Decades of social science research have taught us what we already know—stereotypes are enormously self-reinforcing. Men are expected to be assertive, confident, and opinionated, so we welcome their lead- ership. In contrast, women are expected to be kind, nurturing, and compassionate, so when they lead, they are going against our expectations. A man who makes a tough decision at work is often seen as decisive, while a woman who does the same may be seen as impulsive and brash. Don’t underestimate bias: One study found that replacing a woman’s name on a résumé with a man’s can increase her “worthiness of hire” by 60%.6 #BANBOSSY banbossy.com girlscouts.org/banbossy 3
  • 4. #BANBOSSY banbossy.com girlscouts.org/banbossy 4 1. Push Back on the “Likeability Penalty” THE SITUATION > Women navigate a tightrope between being seen as competent and being well liked. When a woman exhibits leadership skills, such as speaking in a direct style or promoting her ideas, she is often liked less by her peers. If she is friendly and helpful, her peers tend to like her but may be less apt to see her as competent.7 This can have a big impact on a woman’s career. Ask yourself: Who are you more likely to support and promote, the man with high marks across the board or the woman who has equally high marks but is “just not as well liked”? THE SOLUTION > Listen for the language of the likeability penalty. When a woman is described as “aggressive,” “too ambitious,” “out for herself,” or “not well liked,” there’s a good chance this is the penalty in action. Push the person making the comment for a specific example of what the woman did. Then ask, “Would you have the same reaction if a man did the same thing?” In many cases, the answer will be no, and you can surface the possibility that gender bias is the culprit. If they push back, citing that men and women have the same issues with her, remind them that we’re all susceptible to bias—women are more harshly judged by both genders. Finally, it’s important to remember that you can fall into the same bias traps; think carefully about your own response to female coworkers. Listen for the language of the likeability penalty.
  • 5. WHAT WOMEN CAN DO: FIND A WORK BUDDY One way to combat these negative meeting dynamics is to pair up with another woman and agree to advocate for each other. You can reinforce her good ideas and ask for her opinions, and she can do the same for you. When a woman advocates for another woman, they both benefit. — Shared by Gina Bianchini, CEO of Mightybell co-founder of LeanIn.Org 2. Get Everyone to Sit at the Table Participate THE SITUATION Compared to women, men talk more and make more suggestions in meetings, while women are interrupted more, given less credit for their ideas, and have less overall influence.8 If you watch men and women at the same job level, you will also notice that more of the men sit in the front and center seats, while women tend to gravitate toward the end of the table and edge of the room in meetings— away from the positions that convey status. Lack of full participation often undermines outcomes; but tapping into the skills and expertise of a diverse group of employees can improve performance.9 THE SOLUTION It’s important to make sure everyone speaks up and is heard. Start by watching where your team sits in meetings. Make sure women as well as men sit front and center. Set a precedent that every voice counts and establish a no interruptions rule to reinforce it. If a colleague is cut off, interject and say you’d like to hear her finish; this is good for her and elevates your leadership. Openly ask women to contribute to the conversation, and when they do contribute, acknowledge their contributions by name. #BANBOSSY banbossy.com girlscouts.org/banbossy 5
  • 6. 1. Make Résumé Review Gender Blind Hiring decisions are prone to gender bias, too—remember, replacing a woman’s name on a résumé with a man’s can significantly increase her chances of being hired.12 When reviewing résumés for a job opening, consider making them gender blind. After a major U.S. symphony introduced a blind audition process—where musicians played behind a screen—a woman’s odds of advancing to the next round increased by 50 percent.13 2. Watch “Creating a Level Playing Field” Watch “Creating a Level Playing Field” by Shelley Correll, director of Stanford’s Clayman Institute for Gender Research, to learn six strategies for reducing errors in decision making and recognizing everyone’s best work. Use the discussion guide to lead a team conversation on gender bias, or break into small groups for more exploration and group exercises. You’ll find everything you need at leanin.org/level-playing-field. ACTIVITIES 3. Evaluate Performance Fairly THE SITUATION We all understand the importance of fair evaluations, yet women are evaluated more harshly than men.10 This bias is more pronounced when review criteria are unclear, and we’re more likely to rely on gut feelings and personal inferences.11 THE SOLUTION Awareness begets fairness. Make sure everyone on your team is aware of the gender bias in evaluating performance. Work with your team to set expectations up front. Be specific about what constitutes excellent performance, and make sure goals are understood and measurable. The clearer your criteria are, the better. Ask team members to explain their evaluations—and ask the same of yourself. When we’re accountable for our decisions, we’re more motivated to think through them carefully. #BANBOSSY banbossy.com girlscouts.org/banbossy 6 Awareness begets fairness.
  • 7. WHAT WOMEN CAN DO: OWN YOUR SUCCESS So often we deflect praise with a self-deprecating comment like “I got lucky” or “It was nothing.” What a missed opportunity! Praise can be hard to come by and goes a long way toward establishing your credibility. If nothing else, smile and say, “Thank you.” In two simple words, you’ve owned your accomplishment and communicated your appreciation. —Shared by Roxane Divol, senior vice president of partner alliances, Symantec 4. Give Women Credit THE SITUATION Ask a man to explain his success and he’ll typically point to his innate qualities and skills. Ask a woman and she’ll likely attribute her success to external factors, insisting she did well because she “worked really hard,” “got lucky,” or “had help from others.”14 And it’s not just women who are tough on themselves. All of us discount women’s achievements. Women also get less credit than their male counterparts for their role in team accomplishments.15 THE SOLUTION Make sure women get the credit they deserve and look for opportunities to celebrate their success. Help women identify their own success on a regular basis with questions like “What progress have you made since we last spoke?” or “What are you most proud of this month?” Keep a running record of their responses and have them to do the same. #BANBOSSY banbossy.com girlscouts.org/banbossy 7
  • 8. 5. Pay Women Fairly THE SITUATION Even if you adjust for number of hours worked, on average women are paid less than men.16 Yet fair compensation makes good business sense— it can protect organizations from reputation risks and can increase employee motivation.17 THE SOLUTION Audit compensation across your team. Are women getting paid as much as men at the same level? Remember, fair pay begins with evaluating performance correctly and giving everyone full credit for their contributions. #BANBOSSY banbossy.com girlscouts.org/banbossy 8 DID YOU KNOW? The wage gap starts right out of school: A recent study found that women in their first year out of college were paid 82 cents for every dollar paid to their male peers.18
  • 9. 6. Encourage Women to Negotiate THE SITUATION Women are less likely to negotiate, often because they are concerned they’ll be viewed unfavorably. They are right to worry. We expect men to advocate on their own behalf and be rewarded for their accomplishments, so there’s little downside for them when they negotiate, even fiercely. In contrast, we expect women to be communal and collaborative, so when they negotiate or advocate for themselves, we often react unfavorably.19 Of course it follows that women are less likely to receive equal pay if they don’t negotiate actively. THE SOLUTION Communicate to all the members of your team— especially the women—that it’s important for them to ask for what they deserve. Research shows that women will negotiate at comparable rates to men when given explicit permission.20 In addition, remember we’re all prone to penalize women when they negotiate. Be conscious of this dynamic and correct for it; you’ll set a good example for others. #BANBOSSY banbossy.com girlscouts.org/banbossy 9 WHAT WOMEN CAN DO: NEGOTIATE—BUT DO IT EFFECTIVELY! First and foremost, you need to negotiate—you won’t get what you don’t ask for. And when you do negotiate, understand the gender stereotypes you are fighting against and educate yourself about how to do so effectively. Use communal language, since women get better outcomes when they emphasize a concern for organizational relationships.23 For example, you can say, “My team exceeded all our goals this year. We all deserve to be rewarded for our accomplishments, including me.” Another way to demonstrate a connection to others is to ground the negotiation in gender pay issues: “Given that women are paid less than men across the board, we would both be disappointed if I didn’t negotiate for myself.” Watch Stanford professor Margaret Neale’s lecture at leanin.org/education/negotiation for other strategies to prepare for your next negotiation. DID YOU KNOW? Gender differences in the willingness to negotiate contribute to the underrepresentation of women at the top. According to one study, employees who negotiate are promoted 17 months more quickly.22 DID YOU KNOW? Studies show that women negotiate as effectively as men on someone else’s behalf, when their advocacy does not appear self-serving.21
  • 10. Audit Your Team’s Project Work Make a list of the most common types of mission-critical and service work your team does. Service work can be anything from organizing birthday gifts to taking recruits out to dinner. Then evaluate who is doing what. If the women on your team are disproportionately doing service work, make adjustments. ACTIVITY 7. Distribute Work Equally THE SITUATION A majority of women end up in support roles, but line roles with PL responsibility more often lead to senior leadership positions.24 Women also tend to take on more service work (e.g., organizing events, training new hires, running team-building programs), leaving less time for mission-critical work.25 Whether women volunteer for these duties or are just expected to take them on, service work rarely gets someone noticed and promoted. When women are asked a favor at work, they earn almost no social capital for saying yes and are penalized for saying no. Men, on the other hand, gain points for saying yes and face minimal fallout for saying no.26 Over time, these dynamics can have a serious impact on a woman’s career trajectory. THE SOLUTION Audit who’s doing service work and make sure it’s distributed equally. Pay attention to who volunteers and what they volunteer for. Talk to the people who don’t volunteer for high-profile assignments to understand what’s holding them back—high workload, lack of interest, fear they won’t deliver— and help them work through their concerns. #BANBOSSY banbossy.com girlscouts.org/banbossy 10 WHAT WOMEN CAN DO: USE THE STRATEGIC NO Volunteer for stretch projects that will enhance your career. Then when people ask you to take on undervalued work, use what I call the strategic no. Simply say, “I’m working with Jim on a project that will open the door to an important new client base, but this would be a perfect stretch assignment for X down the hall.” This way you can dodge the project while communicating you’re a good team player. — Shared by Joan C. Williams, co-author of What Works for Women at Work DID YOU KNOW? Two-thirds of executive women in Fortune 200 companies are in support roles, such as HR and communications, but line roles with PL responsibility more often lead to the C-suite.27
  • 11. 8. Encourage Women to Pursue Opportunities THE SITUATION Women tend to underestimate their skills and take fewer risks than men.28 As a result, they may be more hesitant to ask for high-profile projects or apply for new opportunities.29 Even when women have the desire, they don’t always have the flexibility and support to go for it. This has a huge impact on who ends up in leadership roles. THE SOLUTION Push back when a woman says she’s “not ready” or “not qualified.” Remind her what she’s already accomplished and how quickly she’s progressing. In addition, make it easier for her—and everyone on your team—to reach for opportunities and still meet family responsibilities. Support and encourage flexibility for everyone. Make it clear you value results over face time and actively serve as a good role model. If you talk openly about leaving early for your son’s game, you signal to everyone that it’s okay to make time for family. #BANBOSSY banbossy.com girlscouts.org/banbossy 11 DID YOU KNOW? Women are more likely than men to suffer from the impostor syndrome, a phenomenon that plagues people with self-doubt. Despite external evidence of their competence, they feel like frauds.31 DID YOU KNOW? Research shows that men apply for jobs when they meet 60% of the criteria, while women wait until they feel they meet 100% of the criteria.30
  • 12. 9. Let Your Team Know You’ll Support Them Through Pregnancy THE SITUATION Companies lose talented women during their childbearing years—one study found that more than 40 percent of highly qualified women with children choose to “off-ramp,”32 and more than a quarter of them never rejoin the workforce.33 As a result, organizations incur significant expense recruiting and onboarding new employees and lose valuable institutional knowledge and connections.34 THE SOLUTION It’s not illegal to talk about pregnancy, only to discriminate based on it.35 Let the women—and men—on your team know you’ll support their decision to start a family. Offer to talk to them if and when they’re ready. They may not take you up on it, but they’ll feel supported knowing your door is open. Be explicit that you are asking so you can help them—for example, assure them you won’t start giving away the best assignments and that their jobs will be waiting for them on their return. #BANBOSSY banbossy.com girlscouts.org/banbossy 12 Learn How to Talk About Pregnancy Read Skadden, Arps, Slate, Meagher Flom’s guidelines for talking to women about pregnancy within the framework of the law. Go to leanin.org/talking- about-pregnancy-at-work. ACTIVITY
  • 13. 10. Mentor Sponsor Women THE SITUATION Mentorship and sponsorship are key drivers of success, yet women can have a harder time finding mentors and sponsors, especially those with lots of influence.36 Mentoring relationships often form between individuals with common interests.37 Men end up gravitating toward other men, and since there are more men in senior roles, women miss out.38 Moreover, junior women and senior men often avoid mentoring relationships out of concern that a close relationship—or even time spent together—will look inappropriate.39 THE SOLUTION We need more male managers to mentor and sponsor junior women, and we should reward them when they do. Establish formal mentorship and sponsorship programs. Encourage informal interactions between the women and men on your team—personal connections lead to relationships that can propel careers. Finally, look for ways to make access to managers equal. #BANBOSSY banbossy.com girlscouts.org/banbossy 13 WHAT WOMEN CAN DO: 1. FOCUS ON AUTHENTIC CONNECTIONS Too many young women start with, “Will you be my mentor?” That’s an awfully big ask. More specific and thoughtful questions are more effective—for example, “I researched Competitor X and wonder why we don’t compare our product features to theirs. Do you have a few minutes to discuss?” I always feel compelled to spend a few minutes answering, and over time these quick exchanges lead to a deeper relationship that I feel invested in. —Shared by Heather S. Burgess, associate director, Procter Gamble 2. START A CIRCLE Finding a mentor can be difficult, but peers can be just as effective at offering guidance. This is the power of Lean In Circles. These small self-organizing groups meet regularly to harness the experience and creativity of all their members. Research shows that people are more confident and are able to learn and accomplish more in groups.41 Start or join your own Circle today at leanin.org/circles, and invite men to join the conversation too. DID YOU KNOW? According to a recent report, almost two-thirds of male executives are hesitant to have one-on-one meetings with a more junior woman.40
