About

A Double Standard for Women?

A couple of years ago, View Magazine called our series, Diversity: Creating Success for Business and People "one of the best products about diversity on the market." And customers agreed!

Now, we can offer you a follow-up series from the same company, ARMC. Building a Diverse Workforce for the Global Millennium is a 20-volume series that covers a huge variety of diversity issues.

Each program also presents critical business concepts like building trust and respect, performance appraisals, team building and leadership.

Program 15: "It's All in the Presentation: A Double Standard for Women?"

How receptive is your organization to differences in style and approach? Does your organization use different standards in evaluating male and female employees?

This scenario explores the issues around a presentation given by a woman and by a man. The manager praises the man; the woman is coached for not giving a good presentation. Is it about differences in the presentation, or something else? The issue of race could be an additional factor as the woman is Latina.
