Women at Work

The latest issue of the Berrett-Koelher Publishers eNewsletter focuses on women in the workplace. They're not questioning whether women can or cannot do certain jobs (I like to think that question had been resolved by now), but instead how women work differently than men.
In their book, The Female Visi
on: Women's Real Power at Work, Sally Helgesen and Julie Johnson explore how women often see things differently than men, why this occurs, and how those observations inform women's actions in the workplace. She goes on to illustrate why these differences matter and how women’s vision can make a significant, positive difference in the workplace.
In a recent blog post, author Sally Helgesen writes about five ways in which women observe the world - and the workplace - differently than men do. As much as I resist sterotyping male and female behaviour, I can't help but seeing truth in her observations.
What do you think? What differences have you noticed between men and women's observations, attitudes or actions in the workplace?
