Meet Dr. Leah Sheppard a researcher at Washington
State University who’s recent work found that attractive
businesswomen are thought by supervisors, colleagues, and employees
alike to be less trustworthy and more expendable. This phenomenon
has been deemed the “Femme Fatale Effect” — a term usually reserved
for a seductive, yet manipulative, woman (Think Angelina Jolie in
Mr. & Mrs. Smith.) Put another way, women cannot catch a
break. In this episode, we’ll discuss why this gender
stereotype and bias exist and what you can do about it. And, to add
insult to injury, Dr. Leah will explain why the workplace treats
conflict among women differently and how you can address that
imbalance as well.
