New Memo to Women

[Content Note: Misogyny.]

All you need to do to succeed in business is be yourself. And don't worry—it will totally work because: "I don't see men resisting female leadership. I mean, sure, do we have the odd dinosaur, yes. But for the most part, I see men being very interested and willing when it comes to including women, and they see it as a benefit."

So says Barbara Annis, a gender intelligence expert and the Chair Emeritus of the Women's Leadership Board at Harvard Kennedy School.

Just lean in and be yourself! That's all it takes! Men are very interested and willing to include you! So if you are not a wild success, it's definitely your fault!

Have a nice day.
