The stress gap between home and work
In a study, men over all reported being happier at home than at work, while women were happier at work than at home.
This speaks of the fact that women have more to do at home at the end of a workday and less leisure time. The extra stuff is like a second shift. There is something about combining work and family that makes a home less of a happy place.

Why do so many incompetent men become leaders? And what can we do about it?
Inability to distinguish
We tend to assume that confident people have more potential for leadership.

Charismatic individuals

The best leaders are humble rather than charismatic, to the point of being boring.
Narcissistic individuals
We've always admired famous people, but our admiration for people who admire themselves is on the rise. But true leaders keep their narcissism in check.
