Summary

This is a heavy and fascinating ep, my friends. Our workplace can be one of the single greatest factors in our mental health, so I wanted to sit down with one of America's leaders in business ethics and masculine psychology, Dave M Mayer. We dive deep into the research to discuss the ways "one-dimensional" masculinity impacts the work we do, the language we use, and the backlash men might get when they stray from it (for example, losing a promotion if they take paternity leave). How do we do better—not just for men and women, but for our culture? Listen in. Dave Mayer is the John H. Mitchell Professor of Business Ethics at University of Michigan's Ross School of Business. An award-winning researcher and highly rated and sought after teacher and speaker, he is an expert on helping people and organizations lead ethically, inclusively, and positively. He is a regular contributor to the Harvard Business Review and Fast Company, and his research and ideas have been covered in Bloomberg, Forbes, Fortune, Newsweek, NPR, Psychology Today, Slate, The Atlantic, The Wall Street Journal, and The Washington Post. In his research and teaching, Dave examines how to help men adapt to a healthier form of masculinity that benefits not only themselves, but all people in their lives.

0:00.0	Welcome to The Man Talk Show.
0:12.3	I'm Connor Beaton.
0:13.8	And joining me today is Dave Mayer, who is the John H. Mitchell Professor of Business Ethics at University of Michigan's Ross School of
0:24.1	Business, an award-winning researcher and highly rated and highly sought after teacher and speaker.
0:30.3	He is an expert on helping people and organizations lead ethically, inclusively, and positively.
0:37.4	So he is also a regular contributor to the Harvard
0:41.2	Business Review and Fast Company. And his research and ideas have been covered in Bloomberg, Forbes,
0:48.3	Fortune, Newsweek, NPR, Psychology Today, the Slate, the Atlantic, the Wall Street Journal, and the Washington Post.
0:58.0	So in his research and teaching, Dave examines how to help men adapt to a healthier form of
1:05.6	masculinity that benefits not only themselves, but all people in their lives. So this is a very interesting
1:12.7	conversation. I recently read one of Dave's articles in psychology today where he extensively
1:19.5	talked about how when men show and express vulnerability in the workplace, they are often
1:26.4	penalized for it, both in their financial earnings
1:31.2	and in their ability to move up in promotions. So we cover a few different topics in this
1:37.7	episode from precarious manhood or how it's hard to sort of get quote unquote manhood, but weirdly, easily to
1:46.9	lose it. And then we talk about the research on one dimensional masculinity and the effect of it in
1:54.1	the workplace and then how it's possible to have a sort of balance between that masculine,
2:00.3	feminine dynamic without sort of losing or being
2:03.8	impacted negatively in the workplace and in life. And so Dave also brings in a good amount of
2:10.7	research from a bunch of different studies that have been done over the past several years,
2:15.3	both in workplace and outside. And so it's a
2:18.8	really interesting look into when men sort of adapt and adopt these sort of more seemingly
