Female CEOs are held to a higher standard than their male counterparts

Personality stereotypes about female and male leaders can impact how their companies weather a major setback, a new study suggests.

Female-led companies are penalized less for competence failures, the authors found across three experiments — unless they occur in an industry in which a woman is expected to possess more expertise, like child products. Male-led companies are penalized more for competence failures in industries regarded as more stereotypically “male,” like automobiles.

Female chief executives aren’t the only powerful women who appear to face harsher scrutiny for ethical issues. Montgomery and her co-author, UVA associate commerce professor Amanda Cowen, cite in their study an example from the 2016 presidential election: Despite documentation that then-candidate Donald Trump had made more false statements than rival Hillary Clinton, some polls showed that voters perceived him to be more trustworthy.

My investments are a meritocracy. I don’t care if it is a robot, dog or kangaroo running the company.

Really? Like marissamayer , who drove Yahoo into the ground? Or like Elizabeth Holmes who did the same to theranos ? Please...if anything, they are given more latitude to drive destroy companies.

Makes no difference.

Should they be held at a lower standard ? At exactly are you advocating for ?

And imagine if she’s a person of color......
