Highlights from Liza Mundy's panel on how women can thrive in the workplace
Liza Mundy moderated a panel last month at the ASU+GSV Summit with Karen Freeman-Wilson, mayor of Gary, Ind.; Amber Grewal, vice president of global talent acquisition for IBM; Laura Zarrow, executive director of Wharton People Analytics; and Georgia Wong, founder of Fairy Godboss.
❝ Don’t make it a zero-sum game. It's not uncommon for women to impede the advancement of other women in an organization, according to the panel. Scarce resources and opportunities can trigger exclusionary behavior, Zarrow said. "Zero-sum thinking comes into play," she explained. "Women do it to women where they're in competition with each other."
Foster a culture that encourages support of colleagues, said Zarrow. "We don't lose if we see other people gaining," she said. [SmartBrief.com]
