As Simon Baron-Cohen so clearly explains in “The Essential Difference”, there are differences. If we draw a scale with extreme female characteristics at one end (extreme empathy) and extreme male characteristics at the other (autism), most people will fall someone along the scale.
Both men and women can be found at any point along the scale; however, the majority of women will be found towards the empathising end of the scale and the majority of men towards the opposite end of the scale.
This is to be celebrated because everybody knows by now that diverse teams are more productive than homogenous teams. If there were no difference between men and women, there would be no diversity.
Women who boast that they can read maps better than men, that they can drive better than men, that anything a man can do they can do better, do not bring diversity to the team. Why should a company hire them and not another man, if they do everything a man can do? They are simply men in skirts.
Leaders cannot achieve on their own, indeed, leaders are people who need the help of others to achieve a vision that is greater than their own personal goal. This was so eloquently explained by Pralhad P. Chhabria, Chairman Finolex Group in his autobiography, “There is no such thing as a self-made Man”.
Check back here soon to find information about our upcoming whole brain workshops, where we explore how to ensure you unlock the ideas and creativity inherent in both men and women, by ensuring you have a balance within your teams.
