How the Delegation Gap Hurts Women Leaders
from Women at Work with Fexingo: Gender, Leadership, and Career Conversations for Women · host Fexingo
Episode 37 of Women at Work with Fexingo explores the delegation gap: the subtle but powerful pattern where women leaders are assigned fewer high-impact projects and more operational work than their male peers. Lucas and Luna unpack a 2025 McKinsey study showing that women in leadership receive 30% fewer stretch assignments, and discuss how this compounds over time to stall careers. They examine why managers default to giving men the visible, revenue-generating tasks while funneling women toward maintenance work, and offer concrete strategies for women to advocate for the projects that build executive presence. Specific, actionable, and grounded in data. #DelegationGap #WomenLeaders #StretchAssignments #McKinseyStudy #CareerGrowth #LeadershipBias #WomenAtWork #Fexingo #BusinessPodcast #Careers #GenderEquity #ProjectAssignment #ExecutivePresence #OperationalWork #Visibility #Sponsorship #OfficeHousework #PayGap Keep every episode free: buymeacoffee.com/fexingo
