Professor Deborah Kolb Quoted in Article "Corporate America May Still Be a Boys Club"
Professor Deborah Kolb is quoted in the article “Corporate America May Still Be a Boys Club.” In this article discussing the perception struggles women face as leaders. Professor Kolb says: “In our society, leadership has been coded as masculine. To be a leader you have to be decisive and take charge. That fits fine for men, but when women do it they get labeled.” The article continues to say “Kolb feels labeling has more to do with familiarity than ability. She points out that many surveys prove women are equel to men in their leadership skill. However, these same surveys show that women are still not seen as having the same potential.”
