The Women Leaders' Hangout
A WLH event
Power relationships between men and women are a delicate topic because not all workplaces are characterized by a level playing field.
These power relationships can pertain to different positions, such as between a male executive and a female subordinate, and they can have different sources, like an advantage in knowledge or expertise. Often though unequal power relationships are particularly evident in workplaces where men hold management or supervisory positions more often than women.
Most Younger women ruminated over male colleagues that were incompetent or subordinate but held personal power over them.
