Therese Huston: How Women Decide

Therese (Website) (Twitter) is looking to change the conversation about women as decision-makers. Her book, How Women Decide: What’s True, What’s Not, and What Strategies Spark the Best Choices*, debunks popular negative stereotypes about women as decision-makers. She is also the Founding Director for the Center for Excellence in Teaching and Learning at Seattle University.

Key Points

  • When a female leader makes a mistake in a job traditionally held by men, people are much more critical.
  • When women are collaborative, they’re seen as less decisive.
  • Don’t be fooled by someone’s confidence—it could just be a sign they don’t know all the facts.
  • Use the Loopback strategy – think about your situation a year from now, and project what you wish you would have done differently.

Strategies to help women in the workplace:

  1. Make sure nobody is interrupted when speaking in a meeting.
  2. Take designated turns for speaking in meetings.
  3. Make it clear that negotiations are expected when discussing salary, office setups, etc.
