According to a recent survey of business students and alumni conducted by the Global Network of Advanced Management<\/a>, \u201cwomen remain underrepresented in business leadership roles worldwide, and intriguing variation across the globe, and even across industries within the same country suggests that there is more to blame than a monolithic culture of patriarchy.\u201d<\/p>\n

As representative of Spain, I discuss how women need to find ways to overcome the invisible barriers to full participation in the workplace and describe our study comparing male and female MBA students working in \u201clearning teams”.<\/p>\n

The starting point is one popular statistics found in a Hewlett-Packard internal report: -men apply for a job when they meet only 60% of the requirements, but women only apply when they are confident they can meet 100% of them. How can women boost their confidence? To address this issue, we examined women’s response to critical feedback from peers. The surprising finding \u2013women absolutely take feedback to heart.<\/p>\n

As published in Harvard Business Review<\/a> and illustrated in this video<\/a>, women more quickly align their views of themselves to match others’ opinion.\u00a0After getting critical feedback from peers, the average woman saw herself almost exactly as her peers saw her. That means, women’s self-confidence decreased over time.<\/p>\n

In conclusion, women\u00b4s greater openness to peer feedback is a mixed blessing. It increases their self-awareness and authentic leadership, and improve their chances of promotion. The downside is that it also may block the very same confidence is intended to boost.<\/p>\n
