Men can compartmentalize. Women cannot. Lower performance from one person (for whatever the reason) has a negative impact on all in the team.
Research grant please!
This. It's the fundamental difference between the sexes.
Men can fight like dogs, then have a beer.
Women tend to never forget a slight and hang on to it forever.
I do agree with the general point and I think it is sports driven when kids are young. Sports teach roles, responsibilities, being a good teammate, when to lead and when to follow, all under a very pronounced hierarchy. The most successful women leaders I have come across, all played sports at the college level. Therefore, they are used to feedback regardless of delivery as a way to improve.
It is for this reason, my daughters are required to play a team sport. Don't care which one, but I don't think they will be equipped to compete and contribute in the work place without it.
Finally someone with an agreeable opinion. People here act like men and women are different species that are biologically hardwired to like different things. This isn't the case. Men and Women behavior differently because they are raised differently. Young boys mimic men and young girls mimic women. If you raise a man to act like a girl, he will act like a girl.
Party of science strikes again.
Absolutely incredible.
