How do you define success?
To obtain success is to achieve goals we set for ourselves and our organization. The genders are distinctly difference in how they measure success. Women generally praise those around them for their successes and men often point inward. Case studies show that when women fail, they often blame themselves, in contrast, men will look for external reasons for their failure. The key is to identify these tendencies and use strategies to recognize yourself and your co-workers in their successes. To keep focused, it can be helpful to have a list of accomplishments and update them in weekly or monthly. In addition, acknowledging your peers achievements both privately and in a group setting, will increase productivity and enhance the work environment. Business is motivated by success, becoming aware of how to motivate those within your organization will take your company to new heights.
Gender Diversity: Decision and Process Focus
Men have a very linear way of thinking, a logical, sequential, unemotional process for completing the task at hand. They tend to make decisions based on their internal knowledge through previous experiences. Their focus is often on one task at a time and taken to completion before another one is begun. Women frequently have many tasks going at once, they are able to balance several responsibilities and move from one to another without difficulty. They will also base their decisions on input and collaboration. These differences become apparent in work situation and produce different paths to a solution or goal. Companies that have the ability to develop teams and work environments that utilize these work style variations to their benefit stimulate productivity which is the key to surpassing goals and achieving success.
Gender Diversity: Are you a Team Player?
We all consider being a “team player” a key component to your resume when applying for a job or for a promotion. However, being a team player has a very different meaning to men and women. When a man is asked how he would define being a team player his response most often is: “to follow directions and don’t ask questions”. To the same question a woman would most likely reply “collaboration, idea sharing, listening and working together”. These two answers are polar opposites, yet an attribute that both genders value. These two diverse definitions can create a disconnect in a teamwork situation. Women feel that men are manipulative by flexing their “just do it “ muscle. While men find a woman’s need to ask questions and seek discussion before making a choice, mindless and a waste of valuable time. Recognizing and respecting the diversity in behavioral and leadership styles is the fundamental step to team effectiveness and productivity. Execuinsight, LLC will provide you with the resources to design a work group that takes advantage of these contrasting techniques , motivating teams and organizations to achieve their goals.
Gender Diversity: Cultural and Behavioral Norms
Gender Diversity: Cultural and Behavioral Norms
Gender differences begin at birth, men and women are hard wired differently but they are also raised in two cultures, creating behavioral norms. Research shows that regardless of our attempts to make lessen the influence of environmental factors, girls and boys are treated differently. From infancy and throughout our childhood, girls are taught to share, play nice, be inclusive and wait their turn; in contrast, boys have a more hierarchical upbringing. They play in an environment of winners and losers, loyalty to the team and often are allowed to interrupt in social situations. These aspects play a significant role in creating each genders cultural rules, language and norms. The focus should not be on how to change these innate differences, but rather how to embrace and value them. To be successful both personally and professionally it is essential that we use this diversity to our advantage. Each person has a unique way of accomplishing a task or reaching a goal that makes sense to them.
