Is it more productive to be alpha?

Women are 20% more likely than men to say they feel sad (data according to global data from the Hologenic Glocabl Women’s Health Index). And that’s 32% if we’re talking about British women. 32%!!!!

A big reason cited is poor healthcare…but that can’t be just it. Other reasons include crap childcare, more unpaid labour AND…. 🎺 how they are treated at work. Less heard, less seen and more over-talked.

So this week, I decided to try being more alpha.

It’s a way I’ve watched a lot of men I’ve worked with behave - but also some women (and, to be 100% clear, not all men).

It involved being more direct, not getting involved in details and telling other people to deal with stuff 🙈🙊🙉

This is how I got on…💥

Next week

Microsoft has just dropped a massive report into what AI is doing to our workplaces. We’ll be digging into the good, the bad and my learning curve.
