#biases #biasawareness # #leaders #selfreflection #consciousness #mindfulleadership Doesn't it happen even today... amnesia kicks in whenever the bosses/leaders need to make a decision about either rewarding/ promoting a woman for her good work. Women are expected to put in double the hours/hard work to get recognized or to move up in their career. We tend to conveniently ignore/forget to appreciate/ even acknowledge a woman's contribution towards the success of a project/ task. I feel this is not just a gender bias but, it's probably more to do with an affinity/experience bias. A woman's contribution towards a project/ task, doesn't get the due credit only because her boss who is also a woman, thinks that her team member need to put in more hard work/spend more time before she could get to the next level in her career just because the boss went through much more struggle in the early stages of her career to get to the position that she's currently in. Both men and women in leadership roles need to be cautious/aware of such a thought process and maybe simply ask themselves a question before they make a decision related to a woman employee's career/ growth - Will my decision change or be any different, if this individual is a man versus a woman?
It's hard to imagine a time without computers, but it did exist, as did six women who changed the entire #tech landscape. Meet the ENIAC programmers, who used their expertise to calculate artillery trajectories during WWII. But it wasn't just war efforts that benefited from their brains—they went on to help create the first commercially-produced computer, changing the way we related to technology forever. Here's to them, and women who continue to blaze the trail for #womeninSTEM. Join us in the #EqualityLounge @ #WEF24 for critical conversations on why women’s economic empowerment is a global imperative. RSVP: https://lnkd.in/gdaeYt5J
