No bro culture, paradise exists: a heterofriendly talk on management
summary
A literature-based talk comparing stereotypical decisive leadership with research-backed traits of good judgment (citing Kahneman and Tetlock), and drawing on the presenter’s decade of management experience and 35 years as a gay man. It examines what traits define leaders with good judgment, how toxic masculinity conflicts with those traits, practical barriers non‑sexist/non‑machista leaders face and how to overcome them, and the negative effects of non‑LGBTQ‑friendly, macho workplaces on companies.
