Sheryl Sandberg, author of the new book, "Lean In", tells a story about a businesswoman’s conversation with her 5 year old daughter.  She explained to her daughter that when women are promoted and succeed in business, they are liked less by their co-workers. The daughter said, “Then I wouldn’t want to be promoted, because I want to be liked.”

As noted in our recent HBR blogs, we take a much more optimistic perspective on this one part of Sandberg’s message.  Overall, we’d like to see women “lean in further” and not assume that being promoted to a senior position causes them to be disliked. Interestingly, our data shows just the opposite and we can find no trace of an advantage for men over women.  In fact, this is one area where women actually have a clear advantage over men.

Please join us for this webinar where we will answer the following questions:

1. Is the notion that there is a male “success-likability bonus” fact or fallacy?
2. Why might women assume they are liked less?
3. Are men less effected by not being liked?
4. How can we measure likability?
5. Does likability link to leadership effectiveness and business outcomes?
