Describe the social costs that women leaders experience for promoting themselves.

What will be an ideal response?


Women face significant gender biases and social disincentives when they self-promote. Research shows that self-promoting women are seen as less socially attractive and less hirable. As a result, often women who want to pursue a leadership position may choose not to do so because they are aware of the social costs. For example, if there was a vacancy for a college department chairperson position, a woman faculty member within the department may decide not to nominate herself for fear of looking less attractive to her colleagues.
