NEWS AND INSIGHTS UPDATE:
In business, there are a variety of words that, when used in the context of women, have become akin to “four letter words.”
Marcy Twete, founder and CEO of Career Girl Network, has identified a few of these words such as driven and family-oriented. While these words can be viewed as positives when they’re associated with men, they’re seen as just the opposite when they’re associated with women in the business world.
Marcy asks, “There are thousands of men in America who rise fast and have families. Why can they have it all, but women can’t? Could it be because they don’t see any of the above [words such as driven and family-oriented] as four letter words?”
