It's Not You, It's Your Workplace | Michelle Penelope King | TEDxChelseaPark

Loved this talk and completely resonates. Leaders don't want to admit any faults, including their own biases - admitting and recognizing the problem is step 1!

Narcissists are rampant in all leadership positions

Michelle shares her ideas with great conviction, sparking us to think about how things can change in the workplace for the better

I surpassed my male peers in the military for promotion. But now after armed forces retirement, I am not well received. It’s awful.

Quite informative and an eye opening talk.

Great and Fantastic

She speaks the truth.

Women have spent years adjusting ourselves to the workplace when in fact the workplace needs adjust to women--- to the fact that we're different. Great talk by expert and UN leader Michelle King.

It's so refreshing to hear something other than the 'women need to lean in, step up, be fixed' narrative. Workplaces are designed by men, for men, but those companies that have become more diverse are thriving across, not just financially, but also in terms of engagement. They're not only better for women, but by men too. Really looking forward to reading the speakers book

Great :)

A horizontal model based on democracy by all to make decision in the workplace. Aka democracy at work.

amazing ;)

Any concrete examples of how workplaces integrate these learnings?

Anyone know where I can see more videos of her

I think women are finally getting this - that it's not them, it's their workplaces. I see where Ms. King is trying to go with this; that maybe if we can convince the people in power that diversity is better for their bottom line, they'll be more willing to let diverse voices be heard. That might work for the private sector where profits can be evidence one way or another. The public sector is a different story. There's a lot of forces at work that keep public agencies from changing or improving. Which may explain why a lot of underlings in public service are women and an overwhelmingly large proportion of senior management are still men. I don't see a lot of incentive for the men in these positions to give up their power. And the women who do manage to gain some power cling to it tightly rather than lifting up other women.

If you work less time ,you make less money. That's the problem with the argument of pay inequality! People want women in "leadership" positions , where are the women in labour ?

Its good that you do not exclude men into your research. We are all equal and we will not be equal until we start talking about troubles and fixes for both genders :)

i caution anybody watching this video to entertain big caution at work. don't get fooled by hr posting nondiscriminatory policies. I'm recently let go from my job. all the support i have all these years went away in mins. I am left alone. hr is there to save companies. Nothing changed. do not get fooled by these videos i did come here to warn.

The workplace is for work. You are given a task, you complete it efficiently and to the best of your ability, you get paid, and you go home. If you don't like the conditions or pay, you find another job or line of work. It's not a hand-holding kumbaya circle j*** where we talk about feelings and treat everyone like infants...Jesus...

Once you get in your dream position ladies, you might want to treat those under you more fairly. Don't surround yourself with other women and get rid of the cell-phone. You can loose that job pretty easy.
