Madam C.E.O., Get Me a Coffee
Analyze this argument:
One of us, Adam, has conducted and reviewed numerous
studies showing that women (and men) achieve the highest
performance and experience the lowest burnout when they
prioritize their own needs along with the needs of others. By
putting self-concern on par with concern for others, women may
feel less altruistic, but they’re able to gain more influence and
sustain more energy. Ultimately, they can actually give more.

If they prioritize their own needs…, then they achieve the
highest performance and experience the lowest burnout.

In the consulting firm, the female manager who was passed over for a promotion found
more efficient ways to help. Instead of meeting one-on-one with dozens of junior
colleagues, she began inviting mentees for group lunches. This saved her time and
created a support network for them to help one another. Rather than handling questions
reactively in time-consuming phone calls, she wrote a manual of F.A.Q.s and shared it
with colleagues. And when clients made unreasonable requests, instead of saying she
was too busy, she explained that it would stretch her team past the breaking point. By
explaining that she was protecting others, she was able to say no but still seem giving
and caring. After making these changes, she was promoted to partner.
