Being Well-Behaved
Might Hurt Your Career
Episode 150
Is being well-behaved at work hurting your career? It just might be. Too many women focus on trying to fit in with the idea that it will help them get ahead in the male-dominated business world. The results range from getting passed over for promotions, failing to negotiate an equitable wage, and ending up overworked and burnt out.
Today’s podcast explores why so many women strive to fit in and how being your authentic self is actually a better path to success. My guest is Shannon McCombie, a leadership expert with a career background in national security, biomedical technology, and corporate strategy. She has years of international experience and has chosen a career path that is interesting and varied – which makes her a perfect guest to discuss the value of not fitting in!
