Workplace gender bias typically takes one of two forms. First, women who act according to certain characteristics ascribed to women, such as warm, caring deferential, often are overlooked for leadership positions because they are perceived as not tough enough. On the other hand, women who are perceived as aggressive often are penalized. Recognizing these biases can do much to overcome them in today’s workplace.

Workplace gender bias often leads to women being overlooked for leadership positions due to perceived lack of toughness, or penalized for being perceived as aggressive.
