Leadership question: When a supervisor asks for your honest opinion about a coworker, how candid should you be? Do you give your unfiltered assessment if you believe the person is underperforming or relying too heavily on others, or do you focus only on objective facts and let management draw its own conclusions? Curious how others have handled this situation.

I’m curious—what evidence are you seeing that men are experiencing reverse discrimination? In financial services, it still seems like most senior leadership positions are held by men. I’m at a conference and overheard a conversation at the next table.
