After 25+ years assessing leaders of every kind, Kim breaks down what the research actually says about gender and leadership — and why the real differences between individual leaders dwarf the differences between men and women.In this episode:The HBR study: women outscored men on 17 of 19 leadership capabilities, including some we assume are "male" traits like driving resultsEmpathy vs. getting stuff done, confidence vs. competence, collaboration vs. decisiveness, risk-taking vs. preparation — why each pair needs both, not a winnerThe double standard in action: the same behavior read as "strong" in a man and "difficult" in a womanA simple gut-check for leaders: would you describe this behavior the same way if the person were a different gender?Why organizations should be pairing leaders with different strengths, not just leaders who think alike💬 Connect with Kim: https://www.linkedin.com/in/frostkim/🌐 Learn more: https://www.frostconnections.com
