When we discuss this concentration of perceptions in an organization, we use words like “brand” and “culture,” but we address the same issues. Whether speaking of one person’s view of the world or the aggregation of many people’s—especially senior leaders—we are really talking about mindsets—poverty or abundance mindsets.

The Rocky franchise first came into our lives in 1976. Detroit and Motown both were still churning out hits. Rocky gave the world this quote that remains as true today for business as when these words were mumbled by the prizefighter 37 years ago. “It's about how hard you get hit . . . How much you can take and keep moving forward. That's how winning is done.”

Yet many elements of leadership in the 21^st century have changed. An effective leader needs to identify which qualities have stayed the same and which qualities have evolved. Leadership is very different in some core ways than it was just a few years ago.

Lawrence Polsky, MD, PeopleNRG.com

Are women business leaders still subjected to a double standard and called “bitchy” just for doing their jobs? Based on the responses of a recent survey we conducted, the answer is yes.

Working as an executive team coach over 20 years, 90 percent of the leaders I have coached are women. I have found the reason they are called bitchy or some version of that, by their team or colleagues, often comes down to one thing: the perception of being too assertive.
