DEBATE: EMERGING WOMAN POWER—DO SUCCESSFUL WOMEN INTIMIDATE MEN?
TAKEAWAYS
1
“Men getting intimidated by successful women may have been a thing in the past... No one is intimidated but people do have prejudices”
2
“Recruiters consider a male candidate because they think he won’t take maternity leave and will be more stable. One has to just work harder”
3
“A male member under me resigned because he could not take instructions from a woman .... Initially, I would alter my behaviour to suit their perspective but then I realised it wasn’t helping”
4
“One gets intimidated only when one is not confident. Confident people never get intimidated”
