Why do so many men become leaders?

līderēm sievietēm bieži vien ir zemākas. Ikdienā lielākā daļa organizāciju līdera potenciālu saista ar daudzām destruktīvām personības iezīmēm, piemēram, pārlieku pašpārliecinātību un narcisismu. Šo īpašību dēļ cilvēku var izvēlēt par līderi, taču tās ļoti traucē darbā. Kad kompetentas sievietes vai vīrieši, kuri neatbilst vispārējiem stereotipiem, netiek pamanīti, mēs visi ciešam no šādas netaisnības sekām, jo iegūstam ačgārnu sistēmu, kurā tiek atbalstīta iedomība un skaļums, nevis pieticība un gudrība. Taču šo problēmu var atrisināt. Tomass Čamoro-Premuziks skaidri un nepārprotami parāda, kāda ir laba vadība un kā jauna sistēma un gudra izvēle var palīdzēt izvirzīt vadītāju amatos pareizos cilvēkus.

WHY DO SO MANY INCOMPETENT MEN BECOME LEADERS (AND HOW TO FIX IT)?
Why do incompetent men so easily become leaders? Why is it so difficult for competent people (especially competent women) to build their careers? Thomas Chamorro-Premuzic answers these essential questions in his current book. Having compiled meticulous research covering several decades, the author concludes: although most leaders are men, their abilities compared to female leaders are often lower. In everyday life, most organizations associate leadership potential with many destructive personality traits, such as excessive self-confidence and narcissism. These traits may lead a person to be chosen as a leader, but they greatly hinder work. When competent women or men who do not fit general stereotypes go unnoticed, we all suffer the consequences of this injustice, as we end up with a skewed system that supports vanity and loudness rather than modesty and wisdom. However, this problem can be solved. Thomas Chamorro-Premuzic clearly and unmistakably shows what good leadership is and how a new system and wise choice can help appoint the right people to leadership positions.
