About this listen
In this episode of The Key and Mang Audio Experience, we unpack the double standards men and women face in the workplace—especially when it comes to leadership, conflict, and competition.
Why are male rivalries seen as strong and entertaining, while women who stand their ground are called difficult or dramatic? Why is intensity applauded in men but discouraged in women?
We talk about:
The unfair perception gap in how confidence is judged
How women are often told to “keep the peace” instead of speaking up
Why we need to normalize healthy competition, even among women
The importance of viewing losses as data, not as dead ends
If we want better workplaces, we have to start by recognizing the bias—and then build environments where everyone’s leadership is respected, not redefined.
