  • Ep. #2: Sexual Misconduct, Fetishes, and Cultural Bias Against Women
    2024/10/31
    We get into the gritty truths of workplace misconduct. From uncomfortable encounters involving inappropriate personal disclosures and sexual fetishes to the all-too-common struggles women face in male-dominated fields like investment banking, the stories reveal how cultural biases and misconduct create lasting workplace challenges. Key Takeaways: Setting Boundaries is Key: It’s important for leaders to create clear boundaries in professional relationships, especially when personal topics, like fetishes, arise unexpectedly. Professional Respect Over Friendship: Leadership often requires choosing professional respect over personal likability to maintain authority and clear workplace boundaries. Courage in Advocacy: Advocating for colleagues can be risky, especially when cultural biases are at play, but it's vital to support fair treatment, even if it challenges the status quo. Early Career Fear of Retaliation: Many hesitate to advocate or challenge authority early in their careers due to fear of career damage, as shown by reluctance to defend a female colleague openly. Evolution of Leadership Styles: Leaders often evolve to prioritize professional respect over being "the cool boss," recognizing that workplace boundaries are essential for team dynamics. Learning from Cultural Injustices: Reflecting on experiences where women were overlooked or punished in professional settings highlights the need for ongoing cultural change and awareness in leadership decisions.
