Women tend to welcome others’ opinions and contributions more.
      5. Conversation
      Men like to talk about their personal experiences and
achievements or discuss ‘masculine’ topics such as cars or sport.
Women tend to talk about staff problems and personal matters.
      6. Meetings
      If a woman does not copy the male confrontational style, she
is often ignored.
      7. Self-promotion
      Men find it easy to tell about their successes. Women tend to
share or pass on the credit for a success.
      8. Humour
      Men’s humour can be cruel – a man’s joke usually has a victim.
Female humour is less hurtful. A woman often jokes against herself.
      9. Caveat
      Many men have a female style of working. Equally many
women have a male approach.
      As Ms Stuart says many of the current management theorems –
flatter organizations (3), empowerment, managing by consensus (4)
– have a female style to them.
      Notes
      1. It does not matter what methods you use; success is the
