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 Neuropsychology 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................

come on..... if a study came out saying the absolute opposite then the feminists would be fucking jumping up and down screaming SEXIST....

personally i think its a load of shit.. its all up to the individual persons skills. You cant put a blanket over the whole female race and say they are better at managing companies than men.

I guess the world must be fucking retarded then.... how come most major companies are run by men?

discuss... but please dont turn this into a "Men are better than women" or "women are better than men" arguement because its not about that....

Totally agree with both these points 040_thumbsup.gif

Every person is an individual and has better skills then others. Its a very generalised article.

You can't prove that women are "better" at managing companies then men, stupid article.

the females in management that i have worked for have been very vocal but without any idea what they are on about

can anyone say 'chip on shoulder'?
but in the process, they've been the true renegades, and the true rebels always walk alone anyway

my business is running quite well without any women in it!

its also been proven women function on emotions and not practicality so how would this help run a business.

IT WOULDNT!..

You can't say that all women function on emotions, as stated before everyone acts differently in different situations!! I don't like these types of generalisations!!

It depends on the woman, our new manager is a women and shes great, but a lot of other female managers I've known are bitches. I think a lot of them are paranoid that people won't think they are tough enough for the position and try to make up for it by treating people like shit, especially other (younger) women.

i believe its up to the individual.. and besides its only a study which means only a sample was taken.. not significant enough to base that on society i reckon! and its not just managers its the relationships with employees which means this "study" should also depend on the type of employees that are there

doesnt matta anyway..

ive had both male and female bosses and worked in both kind of environments...

personally i prefer a workplace mainly consisting of men... its more easy going and you can have a joke and muck around, when i work in a place that was mainly women, the attitude was extremley bitchy.... heaps of backstabbing went on... and this was from the women in their 40s and 50s not the younger girls 007_angry.gif

meh i guess it depends on the manager a person, not was sex they are....
The secret of happiness is to make others believe they are the cause of it.

Women need a reason to have sex. Men just need a place.

I've had a lot of managers in my career - probably 15-20, and out of all of them I've only ever had one good one, and that was my most recent one and she was 20 and one of the coolest and most laid back people I've come across. She's good at managing herself, other people and she's a good ambassador for the business.

I'm not working for the company at the moment (still on the books though) but I am doing more work for them again later in the year and I can't wait, purely because of how well I get along with her.

Just goes to show that all these women in high up positions of authority can be as educated as anything and can have all the experience in the world, but if you don't have people skills everything else counts for nothing.

Same goes for blokes too.

I have to agree about bitchiness but it depends on the person. I've had a few of female managers/supervisors. One was really great, another one (a dyke) was a control freak bitch from hell. We ended up getting rid of her and got a male manager instead. One of my supervisors was an absolute cow, scrutinised my every move and tried to get me in trouble constantly. She was only temporary as well!

I've had plenty of both.. my previous two are pretty typical of how I've found the women v's men management topic.

the female i had at least paid some sort of attention to detail and wasn't a complete sketch head who couldn't organise her way out of a paper bag, in a work sense this is ideal. On the other hand she often bought her personal life to the office and could be cranky and annoying at times

the male (my most recent boss) no organisation skills, couldn't do more than one thing at a time and therefore couldn't concentrate on several issues at any given time, never on time, always stupid. On the other hand he never bought his personal life to work because his wife was probably at home taking care of all of that anyway.

My conclussion.. they both suck. I'm 100% more productive and pro-active in my job now that I manage myself.. some people need direction and need a manager, others don't. I don't think anyone is any better than the other basically!
Some days, it's not even worth chewing through the restraints

It all depends on the skills and training undertaken, real life/on the job experience and personality traits..

Just because a female is "Emotionally intelligent" does not conclude that they will be succesful managers, just that they may not fire up at people or cry at the drop of a hat..

it's a pretty loose connection really..

... Any study run by an interest group can be manipulated to produce results inline with what they want... we are different, useful in different ways and at different times, dont think any are better, but a tough female is soooo much more intimidating than a tough male when dealing with them in a dispute haha 016_lol.gif... 040_thumbsup.gif
