There is an assumption that placing women in organizations’ high-status groups will be instrumental in the further diversification of their group. However, research has demonstrated that women, who are often sole representatives of their gender in high-status groups (solos), do not support female candidates trying to gain membership. As a result, management may look to female incumbents who have voluntarily helped other women in the past, although these female solos may actually feel licensed to give up the opportunity to select female candidates. In this seminar, Michelle Duguid examines experimental studies demonstrating that value threat underlies female solos’ decisions in the selection of a female candidate. For example, in situations where women experience less value threat, such as when they are majority group members or when they feel valued by their group members, they are more likely to favor a female candidate.

Consequences of Value Threat

Ann Compton was the first woman assigned by a television network to cover the White House, and her longevity and impact have been considered unmatched over her 41 years on the air for ABC News. After retiring from daily coverage in 2014, Ann was brought back to cover the 2016 political conventions for ABC. Ann Compton’s career at ABC News spanned seven presidents and ten presidential campaigns for the network. She was assigned to the White House in 1974 as the Watergate scandal came to an end. In what she considers the most significant story of her career, Ann was traveling with the President on September 11, 2001, and was the only broadcast reporter allowed to remain onboard Air Force One to report on behalf of all the press during the chaotic hours after the terrorist attacks when George W. Bush was unable to return directly to Washington. For that coverage Ann received special note in the awards bestowed on ABC’s coverage, including an Emmy, a Peabody, and the Silver Baton from the DuPont awards at Columbia University. A member of the Governing Council of the Miller Center for the study of the presidency at The University of Virginia, Ann Compton was chairman of the Radio-Television Correspondents’ Association on Capitol Hill in 1987-1988.  Twice Ann was selected as a panelist on the formal presidential campaign debates and was elected by her colleagues as President of the White House Correspondents’ Association for 2007-2008. Ann has been inducted into six Halls of Fame and has received five honorary university degrees.

The Affordable Care Act, or Obamacare for short, had three goals: make health insurance available, required, and affordable for everyone. There was just one problem—the launch of the Healthcare.gov website was a complete and utter failure. Professor Len Schlesinger delves into the enormous challenges involved with building, launching, and fixing Healthcare.gov, and how those administrative trials and triumphs are instructive for any managerial setting.
