Presented by The Bob Hawke Prime Ministerial Centre
Despite the surge of women into university, jobs and sitting in federal parliament, why are men still overwhelmingly running the show? Regardless of their qualifications and experience, women are often underestimated and face significant obstacles, including sexism, on their journey to the decision-making table.
In her book, Breaking The Boss Bias: How To Get More Women Into Leadership, author and advisor, Catherine Fox AM argues that toxic sexism entrenched in our systems keeps privileged men in power, making decisions that affect everyone. In conversation with Julia Lester, Catherine presents new approaches to leadership and explores how to unlock the talent currently being wasted due to the 'boss bias'.
