Navigating Gender Bias in Feedback Processes

Gender bias often infiltrates the feedback process, with women more likely to receive comments related to their emotional state—e.g., being labeled as “too aggressive” or “too emotional”—instead of constructive criticism on their work or leadership style. This bias-laden feedback serves more to perpetuate stereotypes than to empower. Encouraging a feedback culture that is aware of and actively fights these biases is crucial for the empowerment of women.
