We have written before that "no age is the right age to be a woman leader." It is also true that "no look is the right look for a woman leader." See our new Fast Company article on lookism bias against women. www.fastcompany.com/91229638/loo...
fastcompany.com
'Lookism' is alive and well and getting worse. Here's why your appearance is judged more than performance
Research of nearly 1,000 leaders found myriad cases of lookism showing women’s appearance at work is “never quite right.”
