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

[@christibotello88]

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!

[@hankhill3417]

Narcissists are rampant in all leadership positions

[@emptyquester]

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

[@allisonroberts8430]

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

[@charlottebiering1536]

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

[@marcusortt6117]

What about women start their businesses instead of restructuring functioning ones. And there is no evidence that diverse businesses thrive financially. More women on board show that profit goes way down and businesses were doing worse. This is only your wishful thinking based on zero evidence.

[@Patrickstarrrrr69]

Women benefit companies financially? lol sure...women by and large are liabilities rather than assets

[@sunnyblueray]

Quite informative and an eye opening talk.

[@lesliezane5531]

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.

[@hankhill3417]

Women don’t belong in workplace

[@hankhill3417]

3:00 another attack on masculinity. I’m so surprised

[@hankhill3417]

Women are nurtures, men are masculine and protectors, providers. Women have a hard job raising the children. Men have a hard job earning money

[@matorifben4079]

the women should not adjust to the tv, the tv should adjust to women lol

[@nicolasdazefilms]

maybe just stay at home with the kids then

[@Fcycfvyvvyvtfutg]

She speaks the truth.

[@AcencialAMV]

Any concrete examples of how workplaces integrate these learnings?

[@bradleyp3655]

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

[@MrDeleoAndre]

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 :)

[@jamalhamdan9170]

Great and Fantastic

[@H.K.Firebelly]

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.

[@Patrickstarrrrr69]

No diversity has historically never benefited corporations, societies, nations, etc. in the long run. Perhaps in the short run, but never in the long run. Birds of a flock... If you have too many opposing views nothing will ever get done or done in a smart/efficient way. And we're seeing that in diverse "woke" companies. They're imploding.

[@nicosmarcou679]

amazing ;)

[@robinjoymeyers709]

Great :)

[@togigure624]

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.

[@logostown6472]

Anyone know where I can see more videos of her

[@smolville]

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.

[@timoffreethought580]

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 ?

[@Patrickstarrrrr69]

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...

[@sayyestolife333]

Of course you imply they desire to be treated like infants when women desire to be treated like human beings, just respected and treated the same as the male coworkers. What a ridiculous comment, dramatizing her talking about respect in the work place is actually the perfect example of the condescending attitude so many women deal with. It's not so much that women want to be treated like children, but that many men want to talk to women like they are children to fuel their monster egos.

[@Patrickstarrrrr69]

@@sayyestolife333 It’s just funny to me because I worked in construction and oil rigs and if you acted like that there you would be laughed at and ostracized The line of work I’m accustomed to does not have sympathy for people who can’t handle the heat, so to speak Funny enough, not too many women in that line of work. Go figure

[@Alice-wk6gt]

The key barrier is MEN and it should be said clearly and loudly.

[@Patrickstarrrrr69]

nah, it's female entitlement, feeling that you are owed things because your "sistas" tell you "you deserve it queen..." even when you call out sick more, work and produce less, and introduce catty, teenager-like behavior into the workplace. I'll hire a man and pay him more since he is much less likely to do that.

[@Patrickstarrrrr69]

Also, thank your "sistas" and the metoo movement. you people are a huge legal and financial liability. you bring this on yourselves...and no, despite what everyone tells you, you are not "owed" anything because you are a woman. If you work 40+ hours (and actually produce), dress and act conservatively, and don't come in with a victim mentality, then we can talk...

[@nicolasdazefilms]

your biology is the barrier. stay at home

[@snuff3577]

Women and men were never supposed to work together

exactly

As a member of the SWCM community i am offended. Take this video down it is NOT inclusive to the Staight White Christian Male community.

[@jamesengland7461]

She's not getting what's right in front of her. "Getting ahead" involves traits that many women aren't interested in. Men are generally a little more competitive and less collaborative ; more driven to get ahead. And that's ok. And some of why men "get ahead" further than women has to do with many women becoming mothers, taking time from work, etc. Women are often heavily invested in TWO very important roles in society. This is both "getting ahead" on her own behalf, and raising her children to get ahead. Is there anything more world-changing than that? As to the workplace, women have every freedom to build their own, with the workplace cultures they desire. Women and men are different! Celebrate that! Don't be down because you don't measure up to others' expectations!

[@jamesengland7461]

@Shimmy Shai well, let's think that through logically. What do you mean by getting ahead? Regardless of the specifics, you have to strive and achieve at an above- average level to do so. There's no 'system' keeping you from doing that. As for collaboration, that means finding other individuals with the same level of drive, and each working together. Anyone who isn't pulling their weight is dragging others back. We see that with companies in decline. It's best to get out and move on. As for women specifically, excellence and drive are not defined by time in the "workforce" or in their own businesses. Length of experience may have taken a back seat to other worthy pursuits like raising children, but that's ok. Mostly, we get absolutely nowhere by blaming outside influences; we've got to do for ourselves.

[@jamesengland7461]

@Shimmy Shai no; you're being lazy by assuming things I clearly did not say. Also, not getting ahead is not in any way a bad thing.

[@Efalonda]

There are enough women who are also like that to fill ALL the management positions in the world. ;) Examples from my life: ceo not onboarding me or answering my questions when starting. Literally not engagibg in a single one of the normal calls. No one feeling responsible for magaing me to the point that no one told me that I got assigned to manage a project. Being blamed for all of the above later. Then getting assigned to work under a 6'4 white male who talks loudly and has less experience in the field as me. Sorry but these things happen and are real. I had no such problems in companies with high women to men ratios.

[@niallhogan1565]

Just Canceled my Netflix account . So all your problems are men’s Fault . Sure it is .

[@nicolasdazefilms]

It's not your workplace. It is your biology. Get married and stay at home. Better for everyone.
