Abigail Disney A The Great Interview: “What is lacking in technical leaders is emotional intelligence”

A “social awakening” far from clear, given the context of origin and the Very tough nameEspecially for a woman. “In a sense, having such a famous last name was more difficult for my brothers, because there were many expectations about them, while Nothing was expected from me. There was less busy, but also the the feeling of not counting that much”, Explains Disney. A reality that most of the rich and conservative environments of the United States, in which women are told that “What they do has no value. They invest in the value of what the men do around them, their fathers, their brothers, their spouses and invest a lot in patriarchy. And so, very often, The most conservative women you will meet are those who have been rewarded by patriarchate. They lived under this spell for a long time and therefore They will never question it. Because doing it means that they question their own lives“.

However, Disney makes one distinction between privilege and rightThe claim that this privilege is an inalienable right, which can in no way be questioned. “If you have a lot of money, we talk about privileges. But the privilege just means having an advantage and it is not an intrinsic negative – Dice –. In reality, the problem is law. Which is different: It means that you have accepted your privilege and think that it is natural, you expect it and it will be part of the way you interpret the world. And this is toxic“.

When closing, Disney devotes a transition to the overwhelming power of the New Empire in America, Tech entrepreneurs. ‘There is one Leadership crisis in the technological sector – Observe the activist -. I think it is partly linked to the nature of the technology, what are the intellectual qualities of a person who finds his way in the field. Very often there is A lack of emotional intelligence“. A problem that is mainly reflected in the companies that I Tech Bro from the Silicon Valley They guide, where a physical separation of the spaces between managers and employees applies. “I think it is one of the reasons why this prevailing class has succeeded in causing a lot of damage without paying the consequences – Disney says –. Implement a hierarchization of people. The rich, especially in the United States, have developed a system of private spaces that produces them to look at what they have done, for which they are partially responsible“.
