The Gender Stereotypes Introduced In Childhood Are Reinforced Throughout Our Lives And Become Self-fulfilling Prophesies. Most Leadership Positions Are Held By Men, So Women Don't Expect To Achieve Them, And That Becomes One Of The Reasons They Don't.

People Think That Women Don't Negotiate Because They're Not Good Negotiators, But That's Not It. Women Don't Negotiate Because It Doesn't Work As Well For Them.
