Our gender identities shape what hurts and helps us, knowingly or unknowingly. We are all right and we are all wrong in our different lenses. Both men and women are looking for the same thing at work, including compelling colleagues, mutual values and challenging work. Based on their experiences, men might be more likely to achieve those work goals; women, on the other hand, may have experiences that create a diminished sense of satisfaction. Given these feelings of dissatisfaction in the workplace, women may have a lower threshold when it comes to deciding whether to leave the world of work or not.

If you were a company executive and were informed that there was a gap in perceptions such as those described in the statistics above, at what level does that become a problem? What should you do? Information rather than anecdotes always helps. For a leader it means awareness and the need to probe more deeply into what causes the gaps.

Focus groups and internal workforce surveys disaggregated by gender or other salient identities can help. The leadership may believe, looking through their lens, that the organization has strong programmes for hiring, evaluation and feedback, career development and promotions, access to critical assignments, mentoring and sponsoring, and other inclusive practices.

But leaders should be looking at how these actually get implemented. And, importantly, how does any particular group see and experience the outcomes of these programmes? Is their lens different than that of the leaders? Any marriage counsellor will tell you that.

You could try simply absorbing him into your circle, so that his faults will become apparent by contrast. Or he might reveal hidden virtues. We can form judgements of others so quickly and easily. While obsessed with him, nothing bad you say about the relationship can change such feelings anyway. Keep a lid on it.

LEADERSHIP LAUNCHPAD

If, indeed, your friend is about to get hurt yet again, falling for hopeless men is her mistake to make. All you can do is be there and support her when things go wrong. Does she acknowledge the fact? If so, that may make it easier to raise your concerns with her, but please be specific. Tell your friend you are concerned about her new partner, but give reasons for your conclusion. Personally, I think that as the friend who generally has to pick up the pieces when her relationships go wrong, you have earned the right to wade in now.

Save her from herself. I just want to be with her and have a great time. Sometimes I dread seeing her for fear one of these relationship dissections will start. You can find our Community Guidelines in full here.

I heard on RadioLab from a researcher at Princeton, I think--one of your guys? He posed this exact dilemma to subjects: flip the switch or push the fat guy.

Turns out that there are two distinct parts of the brain firing off in each of those decisions. There is the part that we get from our primate past: don't kill the guy beside you. We are genetically programmed to not kill the guy beside us. But there's another part of our brain that fires off when we try to calculate a matter of greater good, like killing one to save five.

6 Hardest 'Would You Rather' Dilemmas Ever

That's new: that's pure human. If you can actually look at the brain when we contemplate the dilemma--flip the switch or push the fat guy--it looks like a battlefield, firing off all over the place, primitive instinct warring against reason. Sophie's Choice. I love this stuff. I would say it is in some sense the opposite of B. Bowen's account. As the person in control of the trolley, you have to make a decision.

Between killing five people and killing one, one seems best. But as the bystander who could push the fat man, you don't have to make a decision.
