Abstract

Stereotypes are beliefs about groups of people. They are formed within a system and by that system. We all have stereotypes and everyone has stereotypes about us. Stereotypes concerning men and women determine our competencies, map out careers, create self-limitation and thereby limit our career opportunities. In fact, they prevent talents from expressing themselves properly and thus reduce individual well-being and collective performance. So why are they so resilient and how can we tame them?
