"I have found female-dominated workplaces to be unfocused and ill-managed, consumed by office politics, less competitive and less ambitious, and I have found male-dominated workplaces to be more focused and better-managed, less consumed by office politics, more competitive and more ambitious."

A woman wrote this! BWAHAHA!!! It's exactly what I've noticed, and why I will never again work in a place with a lot of women, or where there are a lot of them in management. The men have to carry them.

I as a female have also noticed this and it's the same reason why I dread having to work in an environment that is female management dominated. Where I work now, it is female dominated in that they don't like to have to work with young females ( in the twenties range) because of fear of competing against better looking younger women. The older women actually run off the younger gals (more attractive gals) out. How very sad. My attitude towards these older women trying to be "managers" in office settings is that if they want the business they work in to succeed and they make money, they had better start thinking like men. There is nothing personal about business. It's about money. You keep your mind on the money and the money on the mind. There is no such thing as friends in the workplace. As a matter of fact, people at your workplace should be regarded strictly as associates or colleagues and not friends. The rule of thumb in the business world is you never never mix business with friends. The business world is about money and money knows no friends...it just changes hands.

A managers job is to train and direct others, an occasionally help fix mistakes, and work with a budget, and other things. The main job is training and directing, IMO. The job description is simple. The execution can be complex, or easy.

Every female manager I have ever known, some I worked for and some I just saw in action, never trained their people. And some of these unfortunate people were there for management training! They basically treated their people like crap. Then they wondered why they got stressed out.

And I pin the blame not on that manager, but on that managers boss. And that was always a man. It's his fault for letting her get away with that crap.

When I was a manager (of a store with about 8 people so it wasn't that high up the corporate ladder) I was friendly with my employees. But, they knew that I wasn't one to tell someone to do anything twice. They knew who the boss was. And I never lorded it over anyone.

IMO it has nothing to do with "thinking like a man". They already are acting like caricatures of men now.
