These people seem so self-absorbed and narcissistic \u2013 and they clearly believe that they deserve preferential treatment, just because! But sometimes we mistake entitlement for a sense of self-confidence that is projected by competent, assured, often charismatic people.<\/p>\n<p>According to research, a feeling of entitlement can be a good thing. Likewise, a certain lack of entitlement can really set us back.<\/p>\n<p>I came across a fascinating study from an organization called <em>The Female Lead<\/em> that looked specifically at \u201cthe complex processes by which women make career-shaping decisions, with [a] particular focus on mid-stage career where female [career] progression typically plateaus whilst male progression continues to ascend.\u201d<\/p>\n<p><em>\u201cWomen have been socially conditioned to feel less entitled than men in all areas of their lives and this has created a big entitlement gap between men and women.\u201d<\/em> Edwina Dunn, Founder, The Female Lead<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/ioadvisory.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/06\/Depositphotos_254105380_s-2019-CROPPED.jpg\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignleft wp-image-12310\" src=\"https:\/\/ioadvisory.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/06\/Depositphotos_254105380_s-2019-CROPPED.jpg\" alt=\"Entitlement only explains part of the gender differential\" width=\"368\" height=\"388\" srcset=\"https:\/\/ioadvisory.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/06\/Depositphotos_254105380_s-2019-CROPPED.jpg 592w, https:\/\/ioadvisory.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/06\/Depositphotos_254105380_s-2019-CROPPED-284x300.jpg 284w, https:\/\/ioadvisory.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/06\/Depositphotos_254105380_s-2019-CROPPED-474x500.jpg 474w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 368px) 100vw, 368px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>Now with more qualitative data being compared with findings of similar research conducted over twenty years ago, this study focuses on the continuing problems, persistent outdated myths, and tracks the real progress that has been made.<\/p>\n<p>A key aspect of the study was identifying and addressing the outdated myths about who women ( or women-identifying) are and what they want, and how those attitudes lead to bias in the workplace.<\/p>\n<p>While the topic of career progression and wage disparity between men and women is a complex and nuanced issue, what stood out to me was the concept of the \u201cUnentitled Mindset\u201d:<\/p>\n<p><em>The way that women are conditioned to feel less entitled than men, in all areas of their lives. To expect less, not to take up too much space, not to demand more. This creates an entitlement gap between women and men. Leading to inequality in pay, domestic load, childcare, parental care &amp; unpaid work which mainly falls on women\u2019s shoulders.<\/em><\/p>\n<p>Intentionally or not, and regardless of how much progress we\u2019ve made over the years, there is still a bias in many policies and practices in today\u2019s workplaces (e.g., <a href=\"https:\/\/ioadvisory.com\/blog\/hiring-for-best-fit-without-bias\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">bias in the hiring process<\/a> and <a href=\"https:\/\/ioadvisory.com\/blog\/iworkplace-authenticity-practical-myth\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">barriers to authentic workplace inclusion<\/a>).<\/p>\n<p>The research shows that policies and decisions made in today\u2019s workplaces are rooted largely in outdated myths and assumptions that have become part of institutionalized practices.<\/p>\n<p><strong>\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>MYTH #1: Women resist the term \u2018ambitious\u2019 and suffer inner conflict about being career-focused. <\/strong>This outdated assumption is in direct odds with what the study participants said \u2013 namely, that they were driven, ambitious, and embraced that outlook with pride.<\/p>\n<p><strong>MYTH #2: Motherhood trumps all else and shifts career and professional identity to a backseat. <\/strong>All&#8211;not some, but all&#8211;participants disagreed with this myth wholeheartedly. Motherhood does not diminish the sense of purpose or identity women associate with their careers.<a href=\"https:\/\/ioadvisory.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/06\/Depositphotos_411291280_s-2019.jpg\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignright wp-image-12311\" src=\"https:\/\/ioadvisory.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/06\/Depositphotos_411291280_s-2019.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"392\" height=\"245\" srcset=\"https:\/\/ioadvisory.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/06\/Depositphotos_411291280_s-2019.jpg 1000w, https:\/\/ioadvisory.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/06\/Depositphotos_411291280_s-2019-300x188.jpg 300w, https:\/\/ioadvisory.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/06\/Depositphotos_411291280_s-2019-768x480.jpg 768w, https:\/\/ioadvisory.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/06\/Depositphotos_411291280_s-2019-500x313.jpg 500w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 392px) 100vw, 392px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p><strong>MYTH #3: Women are uncomfortable earning more than their partners and place less value on their earning power. <\/strong>Women want to be paid just as fairly and equally as their male counterparts, placing a high value on financial independence and the equity that power brings to an intimate relationship.<\/p>\n<p><strong>MYTH #4: Impostor syndrome is a significant inhibitor to job performance and drive. <\/strong>While 26% of participants acknowledged experiencing impostor syndrome, it was not an inhibitor. In fact, feeling the impostor syndrome inspired participants to learn new skills and embrace challenges.<\/p>\n<p><strong>MYTH #5: Female workers (particularly mothers) are more averse to embracing new challenges and risks. <\/strong>Women are just as willing to change jobs, pursue and accept new positions, start businesses and take on the challenges of entrepreneurship as men.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>Identifying and addressing these outdated myths helps us get beyond them so that we can address the REAL issues that women face in their careers.
