误解与真相：现代职业女性精英7个鲜为人知的秘密

    误解5：女性缺乏高层需要的领导才能

    真相：一个针对领导行为的360度反馈调查显示，人们对男性领导力和女性领导力的感受大体相似。然而，研究人员的确发现，在不同程度上，大部分公司可能会更青睐男性的领导优势（如分析思维与商业头脑）。

    误解6：高层女性领导人不会帮助公司下级女性

    真相：大多数女性领导人都会在自己的关系网中搜寻潜在的雇佣对象，而且十分注重性别比例的均衡。虽然部分高层女性不会特意去帮助公司其他女性，但大多数高层女性还是表示，她们愿意为女性下属提供指导与帮助。

    误解7：正式的灵活工作安排会帮助女性晋升

    真相：职场女性们表示，在她们的职业规划中，正式的灵活工作安排（如在家工作、远程上班或压缩工作时间）不是一个重要的因素。相反，她们表示，在互信的基础上与上司制定非正式的工作安排对于她们发挥能力、取得成功来说更为重要。（财富中文网）

    Myth 5: Women lack the leadership qualities needed at the top

    Reality: A 360 feedback survey on leadership behavior shows that men’s and women’s leadership is experienced broadly the same way. The researchers did find, however, that men’s leadership strengths (like analytical thinking and commercial acumen) may be disproportionately rewarded by most companies.

    Myth 6: Senior women leaders don’t help women below them in their respective firms

    Reality: A majority of women business leaders tap into their networks to source a gender diverse group of potential hires for roles in their business. While some senior women may not see themselves as the best fit to sponsor other women in their firms, a majority showed an interest in mentoring other women lower down the pipelines.

    Myth 7: Formal flexible working arrangements ease women’s path to the top

    Reality: Women indicated that formal flexible working arrangements (like working from home, telecommuting and compressed hours) were not significant factors in their career planning. Instead, women expressed that informal arrangements with their managers based on mutual trust were more important to their ability to be successful.
