A smart question for new supervisors to ask – how can new managers help their direct reports to succeed? Combine this with the fact that a stunning 81% of front-line managers report not being satisfied with their own performance, and it becomes pretty clear that the old-fashioned hierarchical style of management no longer works to get consistently high performance. So, back to our original question -how can new managers help their direct reports to succeed?

Indeed, a 2015 survey showed that 71% of women do not report sexual harassment, and far fewer bystanders report harassment that they have witnessed. Why do so few victims and observers report sexual harassment? Just as in the Carlson case, many of the women we interviewed said they did not report harassment against themselves or others because of fear of retaliation by the harasser or organization. So what can we do to reduce fear around reporting sexual harassment?
