Two Things That I Think Matter Are

What Works For Men Does Not Always Work For Women, Because Success And Likability Are Positively Correlated For Men And Negatively Correlated For Women. That's What The Research Shows.

Aggressive And Hard-charging Women Violate Unwritten Rules About Acceptable Social Conduct. Men Are Continually Applauded For Being Ambitious And Powerful And Successful, But Women Who Display These Same Traits Often Pay A Social Penalty. Female Accomplishments Come At A Cost.
