E32: When High-Powered Women Leaders Fail Do All Women Fail?

Inclusion Unscripted

Introspection: Are women given winnable roles? What happens when women fail on the public stage?

Two days ago, I predicted that the British Prime Minister wouldn’t last until the end of the week. Of course, I’m sad that I was right. But her public demise should make every woman take a moment to think about their own rise and potential fall.

When women rise, are they adequately supported? What causes women to flame out in the first place? What does a woman’s failure say about the fate of other women? Are women the cause of their own failure?

In this episode of Inclusion Unscripted, Margaret Spence will look at how women rise, how they fail, and why we must better prepare women to be effective leaders. The critical leadership fact, women are often set up to fail even when it looks like we’re rising. We will unpack the path to failure so women can spot this in their own career journey.
