The fruitfulness of your trading lies on the account manager or the expert
saw recommendation but I did not bother chating her up
I have been seeing so many recommendations about Jessica Robert on different platforms trending I think she must be good for people to talk about her
Congrats Mahdis! it was a very interesting and well done performance 👏
What an amazing talk! Its about time someone brings this topic up with facts, stats and solid arguments. Thank you, enjoyed it quite a lot!
Brilliant and sobering talk … fantastic valuable information!
The Q now become: why so many men (comments below) are threatened and make such CrZ, biased & ego-generated commentaries….
May b good to re-examine your thoughts as your fears, up-bringing and lack of respect for women are reflected from some …. ! OR perhaps you are so out of touch w reality, that have not thought before writing!!!
Great speaker, topic, and delivery! Priceless - ♥️♥️♥️
Cheers
Hear hear!
Great video. Everytime a person tells me "women are still under hired and underpaid" I want fact stats I can read online or otherwise, but nobody gives me data. I appreciate the data on this Talk. Thanks.
Mahdis I am very proud of you for delivering this talk so well and I loved the sense of humour you weaved throughout this talk. It's a very timely talk and very needed as some of the comments have proven; there is huge interest and encouragement with practical steps on how to create more diverse and profitable companies. I had the honour of helping Mahdis create this powerful talk and everything she said is backed by research papers and reports from some of the top companies in the world. TED only invite legitimate experts who can prove their points backed with evidence on their stage.
Such an insightful and important talk. Thank you for sharing this Mahdis!!
Tldr: if you look at more people you can find better workers
Fantastic speech! Keep up the great work, Mahdis. Thanks for sharing a very thoughtful and positive perspective on such a relevant topic.
Very interesting talk about an important topic. It is shocking how far away we are still from gender equality! Thanks to Mahdis and the female factor we may be able to accelerate the progress, though.
What an insightful and inspiring talk - and thank you for creating awareness for this important topic!
Excellent talk, I sincerely hope it will not take 276 years for a 50/50 leaders. All of us need to embrace more Women leaders in the arena to make the world Sustainable for humanity!
This talk is so inspirational! I literally have this video saved if I feel like I can’t achieve something. Thanks!!
Thank you for speaking out about this, and let’s keep speaking up about it till next shorten that gap for equality!!!
This is such an amazing talk, glad I could be the transcriber :)
great content, amazing performance! Thank you for your work and commitment on this crucial topic.
Amazing! So good to watch this very inspiring and motivating video.
The second most dangerous thing about money is that it leaves most of the people who have a lot of it with the unshakable belief that they are intelligent and well informed. The most dangerous thing about it is that it leaves most of the people who do not have a lot of money with the very same belief.
What an amazing and inspiring talk. Thank you for sharing this with us Mahdis! 😘
Would be interesting to see the statistics on; if women make better or equal CEOs as men.
why? CEO's are just mascots, they're no more valuable than a janitor. It's the role they play that's valuable and that role is the exact opposite of what you probably think it is.
@@ZennExile mascots xD Yeah u are just responsible for top major decisions on daily basis and required to please investors and the board.
@@yeahsure4415 you think that's how it works? Based on the movies you watch? Cool.
@PastExpiryDotCom I guess he is already. See how much KNOOoOOWlEdGe he have not only from movies like me
I’m just a young Mexican stoner trying to make it out the hood by doing reaction videos while smoking weed on my CZcams channel 🥶
Thanks obviously useful ☺️
Perfect experience
i think everyone should have to experience the real world once
I love your speech 💬💕❤ you said today's common problem
Not just leaders pr management. I notice women tend to also tend to be better performers in advertising and marketing. Maybe it can just be attractive and beautiful women, but they are better communicator and know to charm people.
Awesome videos.
Excellent, well-researched talk!
Wonderful.,👋👋
Always good luck...
So what do you suggest we do for childcare?
One doesn’t experience self-transcendence, the illusion of self only dissipates 🎈
thanks obviously useful
100%
I would say the opposite.
One doesn't experience self-transcendence, but rather the illusion of self-enlightement increases.
This has been quite well studied actually.
Very nice!
"50% of business with women leaders are more profitable" what... Does this even mean, or entail? Amazon is extremely profitable but it actually loses money on alot of it's ventures and is so profitable due to how poorly it treats its employees. Like, if you abused your employees, didn't pay them anything, and therefore all the profit margins went higher than McDonald's, though it's profitable is it ethical to actually partake in a business venture? You can't use a random vague statistic no actual background as to why this is the case, or what businesses you're specifically looking at. Like you could be looking at AMD vs Intel and claim that a woman lead business is 35% more profitable! But the majority of the Drs staff is male??? Confusing.
It's a made up bs, as usual when such people use "statistics"
@@bloodhooded 'There are lies, damned lies, and statistics.'
Mark Twain
She's clearly implying that woman are 50% more likely to exploit their workforce's pay rates to maximize profits for themselves. Which I can very emphatically accept as known reality.
There are a number of metrics one could pick to distinguish good and bad leaders. Profitability is not a bad one. It's not a "random vague statistic" and you should really try harder to make your counter argument.
It's a separate discussion if we as a society should value profit over people, as you write in your very vague critique.
@@Bepartofmynovel there is no discussion you silly fukpotato. Just sit there in your patch and wait for you mom to water you.
The statistics are misleading...
영상감사합니다ㆍ솜결
Yea
Do you know what scares me the most? That at this very moment 347 people don't have the brains to even realize what this person is saying.
You're on Point
so to get equality we have to specifically target and favor 1 gender...? sounds totally equal and fair to me lol
@Yummy Spaghetti Noodles thats not what she advocated for. She literally said to hire more woman and directly incentive hiring woman in order to equalize gender gap... aka give direct financial incetives to pick 1 gender over another and therefore punish/limit hiring of other
Yeah bruh. Her way of gender "equality" is to pay women more because of their gender. Like Whaaaa??
I don't know the statistic but 1 reason a women led business might we perform better is, a women might need to put perform men by a significant margin to be in a post of ceo. This would lead to significant difference in skills between a counterpart male ceo. Ceo of amd for example.
Only 4% of the company have female ceo but the counter argument is they might be better compared to the average ceo if they are that good.
@Danny Armstrong Forced to leave work. Correct yourself. Because their male partners wouldn't quit their jobs
The journey of a thousand miles begins with one step.
We have the fastest growing WOMEN'S LED BUSINESS in the world. 😍😍😍😍
WELL DONE, WELL SAID WOMAN POWER❣️❤️❣️🥰🥰🥰👍🏼💪🏼🤛🏼🙏🏼THANK YOU❣️❤️❣️🐾🇨🇦🐾🥇
She forgott the guy leaders population...not women, not man. Almost majoriti in bussines those days
That's not actually how anything works, Male leaders are no different than Female leaders in terms of performance and value. The value comes with nepotism, networking, and debts owed. Typically all of these avenues were "manned" by Men. So we ended up with more Males in Leadership roles even after feminism swept across the culture during the 90's and began to rise significantly in the early 2000's. Even with the PinkWave women in STEM positions and Leadership roles never materialized and it wasn't in any part due to their suppression. They simply didn't turn out. There's no networks, or family allowances, or long term unwritten debts Woman can leverage to achieve the vulnerable positions in most major corporations.
Because that's what leadership roles really are. A vulnerable position that needs defending between the owners, board, and employees. What woman like this seem to want, doesn't even exist to have. You can't work your way up to these roles. You are chosen for these roles, much in the same way marriages between noble houses were arranged. It's has nothing to do with your value, and everything to do with your Family, Network, or Debts owed.
You argument falls flat when you realize that there are as many women from rich families as there are man.
They don't show up because women in general don't want to work.
💗
Why is she worried about Europe when it's far more equal than the middle east?
This is wonderful
This is was utter nonsense
@@1999deshan do u like peanutbutter
The dishwasher manufacturers better watch out!
Nice ratio
That first sentence set the tone for what I expected to hear
🇺🇳 12:27
I love her
Well done beautiful! The world is on track thanks to people like you.
On track to be balanced, Using the feminine and masculine wisdom both. She researched to find ways to that balance. I appreciate it so much!
The feminine “wisdom” has it’s own place. And it’s not within the business world.
’’how you do anything is how you do everything’’
Lmao started off with abusing statistics
I mean, if you don't abuse them statistics are completely worthless.
I cant stand to watch it myself, did she completely contradict her first thingie by starting to talk about how we need quota’s?
"taking care of a child" is called by this lady an unpaid labor.
It is. Because men get to not do this, still be a father and get paid on a job. Women labour, are gaslighted if they don't do and lose out on thier career
Hilariously if you ask any man which group of people cause the most problems at work, uncessary problems and damaging gossip, it isn't other men.
oof
Oh there getting " *Tapped* " alright... LOL
Well then somebody should tap that!
60:1 O you who have believed, do not take My enemies and your enemies as allies,1 extending to them affection while they have disbelieved in what came to you of the truth, having driven out the Prophet and yourselves [only] because you believe in Allah, your Lord. If you have come out for jihād [i.e., fighting or striving] in My cause and seeking means to My approval, [take them not as friends]. You confide to them affection [i.e., instruction], but I am most knowing of what you have concealed and what you have declared. And whoever does it among you has certainly strayed from the soundness of the way.
Thank You, ... i think you are a good girl :)
What do women feel about global warming?
Does she not realise women are already in the work place?
And in way better conditions then man are
Bs
What use are profitable companies when your population is drastically declining. If you like statistics so much, why don't you extrapolate not that far into the future?
😂😂😂
i counter your point with "the poor"
This lady is biased as business interests are gender neutral.
Cope
So you're suggesting to remove 44% of highly driven career obssessed man from top positions just because women give an opinion that is of sentimental value and diversity(i.e quota)? I gained an extra chromosome at the end of this talk thank you!
@@Dimitris_Balf On average, men are more career driven. Not sure if you're trolling
@@Dimitris_Balf Have u been sleeping in a cave? I'm not arguing women shouldnt be in top spots. If you can replace those men with women with similiar attributes, by all means, thats fine. But the stance behind this for women in this tedtalk is from a childish perspective.
@@Dimitris_Balf That is absolutely correct. Men are more highly drive, more able to make rational decisions, more WILLING to face danger for the good of others and more willing to work for the betterment of the tribe, not just herself. It's sexist? So what? What are you going to do about it?
The message is not about “removing” men, the message is about attracting untapped female candidates ideal for the business positions.
Untapped?? Hmmm iddkkk about that
ur not funny😐
Incentives for managers to hire women and people of color…. You lost me there. Or we can hire more diverse talent and pay them on a equal payment scale
Then Jesus said to them, "A little while longer the light is with you. Walk while you have the light, lest darkness overtake you; he who walks in darkness does not know where he is going.”John 12:35
"If your leaders say to you, 'Look! The Kingdom
is in the sky!" Then the birds will be there before
you are. If they say that the Kingdom is in the sea,
then the fish will be there before you are. Rather,
the Kingdom is within you and it is outside of you."
Thomas Didymus
Where are you from
Hahahahahaha Jesus Christ
So, hire people based on their gender and not their skill? hmm I wish there was a word for that...
Communist Propaganda
Which part of it is?
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
EXACTLY!
blablabla but no real solutions offered as usual when so called female leader talk about this topic
So u want more CEO's based NOT on skills but just to please you to be 50/50%? Get a load of this .. LoL.
If they are as good .. well, just like you said.. THE NUMBERS DON'T LIE :)
If you make great decisions and money for the company you will be CEO, nobody gives a fawk about your gender. But its just proven time and time again that great decision making is not a part of the majority of women.
Ya think?! Women the ignored, underappreciated, underpaid employees. One more un-. Untapped. Who'd'a thunk it? Who's she Ms. Obvious?
"Businesses with female leaders are 50% more profitable" Where is data supporting this claim?
Ahahaha! Im shorting TED. Also unsub.
Bad idea, ladies. Children > “careers”.
would agree if it was ypur personal point of view, not a recommendation to "ladies" in general
Is this stand up comedy?
Her Sharp “S” sounds are unbearable to listen to
hahaha
