The dominant workplace of today was built for a male muse - typically white and heterosexual, with a stay at home wife - and his designated role in society. For everyone who doesn’t fit that outdated mold, it’s a constant source of friction, too often internalized as a personal deficiency rather than a design flaw.
IT’S A MODEL WE CAN’T JUST “LEAN IN” TO.
The League of Badass Women is starting a radical redesign by questioning every assumption that went into building this legacy model. The transformative conversations in the League of Badass Women Podcast help us develop the post-gendered workplace and model of leadership.
