Madam C.E.O., Get Me a Coffee

Analyze this argument:

One of us, Adam, has conducted and reviewed numerous

studies showing that women (and men) achieve the highest

performance and experience the lowest burnout when they

prioritize their own needs along with the needs of others. By

putting self-concern on par with concern for others, women may

feel less altruistic, but they’re able to gain more influence and

sustain more energy. Ultimately, they can actually give more.

In the consulting firm, the female manager who was passed over for a promotion found

more efficient ways to help. Instead of meeting one-on-one with dozens of junior

colleagues, she began inviting mentees for group lunches. This saved her time and

created a support network for them to help one another. Rather than handling questions

reactively in time-consuming phone calls, she wrote a manual of F.A.Q.s and shared it

with colleagues. And when clients made unreasonable requests, instead of saying she

was too busy, she explained that it would stretch her team past the breaking point. By

explaining that she was protecting others, she was able to say no but still seem giving

and caring. After making these changes, she was promoted to partner.
