Research confirms that women have an inherent style of management, which concentrates on building relationships rather than merely achieving goals. Women generally look at the organization as a connected network rather than a mere hierarchy of people, although they sometimes have a tendency to group with other women and gossip or dwell on trivial issues. Women often regard their fellow employees as family and take time to ascertain their personal needs. Hence, they can sometimes be taken undue advantage of. Women communicate well in the business environment because of the skills they acquired as children. Women understand that fruitful conversations promote sound business relationships and teamwork, thus contributing to an improvement in the bottom line. They are usually well organized; they manage a dual career, as homemakers and professional employees, but may lose headway if projects do not progress according to plan. Women tend to be detail-oriented at times, thereby causing others to get impatient for results. Competition is strange for most women; they were not groomed for winning, but some women can be overambitious at times, and this can lead to undermining the importance of corporate goals... If anyone wants free abridged versions of my books on leadership, ethics, teamwork, women, trade unions, etc. please send a request to crespin79@primus.ca.
