INVISIBLE RULES:
MEN, WOMEN AND TEAMS (cc)
"Successful organizations of the future are going to have leaders, are going to have team members who understand the rules of both cultures." -- Dr. Pat Heim
According to Dr. Pat
Heim in this customer-requested sequel to
THE POWER
DEAD-EVEN RULE,
men and women grow up in different cultures, learning different lessons about
what it means to be a leader and what it means to be a team player. The hitch is
that the rules of these cultures are typically invisible and these invisible
rules are the cause of many misunderstandings as men and women work together on
teams.
In her thoughtful and lively presentation, Dr. Heim sorts out some of these
INVISIBLE RULES. Among her insights:
-- Men and women have
radically different ideas of what it means to be a team player.
-- Our meeting
behaviors are different. For men, the meeting often doesn't happen in the
meeting and women may not know this.
-- Women often use disclaimers, hedges,
and tag questions in their linquistic behavior which can backfire when talking
to men.
-- Our non-verbal communication is
different. For example, when women nod it means "I hear you," while men nod in
agreement.
These
differences are not right or wrong but they can result in confusion and
conflict. By making these INVISIBLE RULES visible, Dr. Heim provides the basis
for better understanding, communication and teamwork.
