What 60 Years of Data Reveals About How Men and Women Experience Leadership
In 1965, Harvard Business Review surveyed 2,000 male and female executives to track perceptions of women in leadership. Since then, researchers have replicated that study every twenty years to gauge shifting attitudes toward women in top posts. In this latest installment, which includes responses from 193 senior U.S. executives, supported by in‑depth interviews and several new questions, researchers have found some troubling backsliding: Men and women now diverge sharply on whether women are judged more harshly, held to higher standards, and advance through genuinely meritocratic systems. The findings point not to overt hostility but to “underground bias”: informal sponsorship, subjective performance criteria, and unequal access to P&L roles. The researchers argue that organizations possess the tools to fix these gaps but have not yet summoned the will.

‘Facing ‘gerontonomia’, the West’s young opt for political extremes’
Tim Vlandas analyzes the influence of aging populations on electoral politics in advanced capitalist nations like Europe. Older voters display different policy preferences, emphasizing pensions over issues of younger demographics. Consequently, governments often allocate more resources to pension spending rather than investing in education and infrastructure. Young voters may become politically disenchanted, leading to radical shifts towards extreme parties.
Buffett on gold: It does not lose because the pessimists are wrong. It loses for a reason almost nobody mentions
The number of shares Berkshire Hathaway held in American Express did not change for eight years. Yet, its ownership of the company rose from 12.6% to 17.9%, purely because American Express kept buying back its own shares. Fewer shares existed, so the same number of shares owned more of the company. Buffett draws the general rule from it in one short line: When earnings increase and shares outstanding decrease, owners over time usually do well.
Are Your Job Postings Driving Away Creative Talent?
Many organizations say they want innovative talent but undermine themselves with the wrong recruitment language. An analysis of 10,000 creative job postings and experiments with 2,000 job seekers show employers overwhelmingly emphasize words like “genius,” “visionary,” and “unique” over “curious,” “observant,” and “experimental,” when seeking to fill creative roles. Yet postings using “explorer” language attract more applicants overall, a more diverse pool, and candidates with stronger histories of creative achievement and openness to experience. Framing creativity as exploration and collaboration, rather than rare brilliance, is a low-cost shift that helps organizations hire the people more likely to spark creative change
