Study Shows Men Feel Uncomfortable Mentoring Women

In light of these findings, LeanIn is calling on men to do more to support women’s careers — which includes mentoring and sponsoring them. Through their initiative, MentorHer, LeanIn is calling on male managers to do more to uplift their women colleagues. “This is about closing the gender gap at work, from the entry-level all the way to the top,” said Rachel Thomas, president of LeanIn.
