Leadership interventions tend to target—and try to change—women. But what about the context in which women are perceived, namely, teams? Similarly, gender discrimination research tends to target the targets. But what about those in the employment context who often see—and can also intervene more effectively—namely, bystanders? We'll explore these ideas recently published in Journal of Business Ethics and Journal of Management, as well as Gloor's new #MeToo/humor research in Journal of Applied Psychology, closing with some fresh insights into some of her current work at the nexus of sports as a non-traditional pathway for women leaders.

Jamie Gloor is an Assistant Professor of Diversity and Leadership Science at the University of St. Gallen in Switzerland, where she and her team are funded by a 1.2million CHF Swiss National Science Foundation grant. With 2 decades of international experience across 4 continents, this award-winning speaker, scholar, and educator has been featured in top scientific (e.g., Academy of Management ReviewJournal of Applied Psychology, and Nature Human Behaviour) and media outlets (e.g., Harvard Business ReviewForbesThe New York Times, and TEDx). Gloor and her team craft sought-after articles, courses, workshops, and keynotes spanning business and psychology on Diversity Equity & Inclusion (DEI), leadership, humor, (social) sustainability--as well as combinations of these topics.
