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.

Research: Why Some Junior Employees Work Well with AI—and Others Don’t
Organizations need to understand how individuals create value beyond the AI baseline in real organizational settings, particularly in higher-stakes professional work requiring judgment, domain expertise, and decision-ready outputs. KPMG and researchers from the University of Texas conducted a large-scale field study with 523 early-career professionals where participants completed business-specific tasks using an AI agent built for the domain. This research can help answer two questions: 1) What enables early career employees to add value in AI‑enabled workflows? And 2) how can those capabilities be intentionally developed in ways that sustain continuous improvement as AI continues to advance? The findings sorted participants into three groups: AI apprentices, AI delegators, and AI amplifiers. A surprise in the findings was that foundational skills such as critical thinking abilities, AI literacy, and domain knowledge weren’t clear signals for who fell into which group. This can help leaders rethink how to design entry-level work and how to hire for these jobs.
