Women are deemed failures much more quickly with different criteria. Not only that. quote unquote, failed female CEO, the halo effect follows any female who might be considered by a board of directors to be the next CEO. She's already considered a quasi failure simply because that role model was quote unquote, failed male CEOs. No such halo effect exists. That doesn't happen.

So here's another one. In the workplace, women and men who are given the exact same goals and tasks to accomplish, women who achieve those goals with excellence and on time do not get credit for being that person.

The research shows that men who take longer and work nights and weekends and maybe have the same outcome, maybe it's excellent, they're seen as more successful, more dedicated, more disciplined, and more... dedicated to the company. So all over the place, the ways in which we set goals, value progress, give feedback and reward excellence skews against women.

And I'll give you one last example, because a lot of people study Amazon for goal setting success. They've got this big goal setting program. A program where people are squeezed to death and they're encouraged to rat on their friends and call these anonymous lines and say so-and-so isn't doing their work. I mean, it is a cutthroat Darwinian culture.

But one of the things is they encourage managers to give brutal feedback in front of other people, shame them. And the problem is when women do that, when women adhere to those standards in any culture, They'll pay a penalty. They will pay a huge penalty. So they might be following the criteria, the 14 criteria that Amazon says, this is how you must act to be an Amabot.

So they'll be doing what the company wants them to do, but it's going to completely undermine their success. It will not pay off in the end. So those are just a few examples.

We have to wake up to the fact that we do not have goal-setting productivity systems embedded in the world or in companies that are evidence-based or that ask people as they're setting their strategy, will this strategy work for someone who looks like me? Can I find a woman, a person of color,

How they did it is not gonna match many of the stories they've heard on podcasts, is not gonna match some of the people we see in documentaries. You have to step back and say, will it work for me? And then just like I did with overcoming my bulimia, find a Betsy.
