Your position on leaders that conform to the environment appear to be non-authentic is concerning.

In my workplace, my immediate, secondary, and tertiary bosses are all females and exist within an industry that is not centric to female products. I believe I understand your premise in those cases that executive leaders pander and change colors like a chameleon for the sake of peace and productivity. Like all of us, perhaps your own biases associated with your experiences within the industry you represent contributed to your hypothesis regarding the struggles…

Forms of media that are stereotypical stop people from learning the truth about others. For example, if a magazine presents a stereotypical Indian, it can be offensive to Native American people. Society will not know the truth about Native American people, rather they will think of them as simply dark-skinned individuals who wear feathered headdresses on their heads and hold a bow-and-arrow. Stereotypes are limited information and do not express the truth; therefore, when people judge others because of these stereotypes, many people can be hurt.…
