Women managers are better!
An interesting post caught my eye the other day. (The article is here.) In it, there is very strong support for that element, often referred to whimsically as ‘female intiution’. To quote:
A new university study has found profits are likely to rise under a female management team because women are more intuitive and can better suppress negative emotions.
The study, conducted by the Centre for Neuro psychology at Melbourne’s Swinburne University, found women who had higher emotional intelligence and intuition were more likely to display good leadership traits.
Emotional intelligence was defined as the ability to identify and manage emotions and includes suppressing negative emotions like frustration and fostering positive emotions.
PhD student Luke Downey who authored the study said women generally had a higher emotional intelligence and intuition than men, making them more likely to be good managers.
“It would give them some advantage over male managers,” Mr Downey said.
So, now it’s official in the business world. Accessing this nebulous thing called intuition places you in an advantage.
All that is necessary now is to let everyone else know that using all of your brain is a really sensible thing to do!
